About the issue:
In this issue of Hand Papermaking, we explore how personal connections to place shape the practice of papermaking. Contributors share their deep ties to the landscapes they inhabit and imagine, illustrating how these influences inform their creative choices as artists, stewards of cultural memory, and advocates for preservation. Their work demonstrates how the traditions of hand papermaking offer a bridge between past and present, envisioning a future rooted in resilience and sustainability. Each contribution highlights a different perspective on memory, whether sensory, ancestral, intimate, or imagined, inviting us to engage deeply with the stories embedded in the craft of hand papermaking.
