I am late getting this in. I was able to take a week long educational workshop in Atlanta in June. It was at Georgia Tech at the Robert C. Williams Paper Museum complex. http://www.ipst.gatech.edu/amp. If you are interested in paper this is a wonderful museum. The workshop consisted of making a Japanese sugeta (screen for making paper), cooking and beating kozo and gampi fibers and pulling sheets of paper in the non-western tradition. I need a lot more practice. It was a great experience.
