Questions:
Just to mention - In Hand Papermaking today the family tree outlined my involvement learning paper from David Erickson who was a student of Lawrence Barker. I then went to Twinrocker to work, moved to Maine with papermaker Katie MacGregor and set up a business making conservation paper. We were part of the conservation papermaking conference held by the Library of Congress. We also made numerous editions for Clair Van Vliet's Janus Press at our shop. Katie continues to make paper in her own mill. I teach papermaking and book arts at the university of Maine at Machias.
