Narrative:

Since I've learned japanese papermaking I've only work in this style and I've found the best combination with my other work in photography and printmaking. I would like to say that visiting differents papermills and talking with other papermakers, just watching how do they works it's been very helpful for my work both in the workshop and as a papermaking teacher
