CALL FOR PAPERMAKERS AND PAPER ARTISTS

I'm in the process of establishing the Irish Network/Guild of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists - I would like to hear from artists and makers who work with paper/handmade paper in their practice, or are papermakers themselves ("full time/part time"), so please feel free to get back to me or forward this information to those you think would be interested:

Tunde Toth – Artist
Kozo Studio and Gallery

As a Paper and Fibre Artist I have recently travelled to Tasmania for the 20th IAPMA Congress (International Association of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists). I have been invited both to present workshops and exhibit my art work at the Congress and the “New Paper – Old Land” international paper art exhibition.

I'm in the process of establishing the Irish Network/Guild of Paper Artists and Papermakers - a network that assists and promotes artists, makers and raises awareness and appreciation for an ancient art form and related contemporary practice.

This network has a lot of potential: promoting member's practice through the network's own website, blogs, organizing exhibitions and educational programmes (workshops, talks, demonstrations, inviting artists of international repute...etc.) and benefiting from international networking opportunities.
I would like to hear from artists and makers – paper and fibre artists, hand papermakers, crafts people and visual artists working with handmade paper in their practice in various contexts - who are interested in taking part in this project.
