It is strange being done with school for a while. Though I have less workshops lined up than I expected, there is plenty of work to be done. I underestimated the amount of phone calls and admin work that is needed to make these things happen. We will be at Under the Hood Cafe in Killeen every 2nd and 4th Saturday from noon to sunset holding space for arts projects, including guitar making workshops. I picked these weekends because they coincide with the Killeen Poetry Slam evening that UTH hosts on Fridays evenings. It would be great if some of the artist from Poetry night made it out for paper making.
I am looking forward to holding our first workshop of 2012 at Under the Hood Cafe this Saturday from noon to sunset. This event is open to the public, not just veterans. Hopefully everyone will bring an article of clothing, not just uniforms, that has personal significance to tell their stories.
(A photo from our last workshop with at Under the Hood with Peace Paper and their beater back in November)We have had our paper beater for about a week now and pulp some uniforms and natural fibers. Because the weather here in San Marcos took a turn for the worse the last few days. I Haven't formed sheets on the moulds and deckles I made during the break but I am trying them out tomorrow come rain or shine. I had wanted to form the sheets by floating the vats in the river and couching them on the shore but I can couch on my patio on the same table I used to beat. Whether permitting we'll be at the river next weekend hopefully.
I'll post again and hopefully get to updating the site on Sunday after I return to San Marcos at the latest, but if you want up to the clock updates but you can't actually be there check the Facebook group.
