it was HOT.
HUMID.
but my amazing students persevered.
krista, emily, nancy and betsy
(and the amazing organizing nancy
has slipped away)
all beautiful, all so happy!
a first at long ridge:
drying paper on the sheep barn
interior walls
better sheets,
better and better
expertise beginning
some small moulds
arbor vitae
white cedar
HEAT
and then rain
trial run for the arnold grummer press
it rained on sunday
cats and dogs
and the weather finally broke
too late for papermaking,
but we did some grand work
anyway
everyone can now
go home
and complete the entire process
and make their very own paper.
HURRAH!!!
