Lindsey Beal and I are ✨ thrilled ✨ to have our collaborative work featured on the cover of the 40th anniversary issue of Hand Papermaking magazine. Inside, we shared a conversation about Lamina, our series that combines cyanotype with handmade paper.

“All Blues” is the theme of the fortieth-anniversary issue of Hand Papermaking magazine, vol. 41, no. 1 (Summer 2026). It explores the whys and hows of making and using blue handmade paper, historically and in our present time.
