Carol Kratz, is a papermaker, author, editor and retired physician assistant. Washi is strong, supple and beautiful paper, still handmade in the mountains of Japan using methods unchanged since its perfection in 600 AD. Carol learned these methods with a Japanese master papermaker in Mino, Japan, long a papermaking center. Through her illustrated talk, she will detail the history and uses of paper in Japanese culture, illustrate the process, and through her paper, will show us the results. Her love of paper originated with her love of the book in all forms, practical and artistic.
