The above materials are from a talk I went to on Tuesday April 23. I learned how to make a “magic book” by folding one piece of paper!
This talk was a part of National Preservation Week (April 21-27) and was sponsored by the University Libraries. The talk was by Helen Frederick, Professor in the School of Art and Design and titled “Why Beat Pulp: Hand Papermaking As an Intersection of Cultural Values”. A quote from the flyer describes the event as
…a talk that will enable the viewing of hand papermaking, particularly two very different papermaking productions that Professor Frederick visited in 2011 in the Sichuan area of China, to briefly examine how hand papermaking provides an intersection of cultural values and economic development. Understanding the embodiment of a natural material and its prowess to be made into another transformed useful material by hand is a lesson in daily life, industry, art and science.
