Dear Gail, from now on I'm working again in my studio. sorry, last year was not the best year of my life. But now things are coming better out and I work with my artist books, handmade paper. I make my own amate paper, and because I have japanese friends, maybe they can send paper or bark to me. I stil have some.Give me some time and my site wil be oke.puck bramlage

Forgot to mention Kisako Intercultural Institute, which is who I did the washi making course with, Paul Denhoed. (http://www.kisako.com/)

HI Gail, thanks for that information. It seems that there is not much left of the Primrose supply; if they order more in, I can buy it from them. But if that doesn't happen, I might take up your suggestion of becoming a member of your organisation. Re Tokyo: you might be interested to visit the Tokyo Printing Museum (http://www.printing-museum.org/en/) which has a great letterpress setup downstairs. There is also a small paper musuem in Tokyo (http://www.papermuseum.jp/en/). And an Origami Centre which is excellent and has great paper (http://www.origamikaikan.co.jp/info/e_us.html).

Thanks Gail. I did email Primrose also but Jean couldn't find the supplier. Could you let me know the supplier if you know it, otherwise, when might the next order be? Could I purchase some from that?
I need to go out now, but will give you some paper leads later today.

Dear Gail,

I have recently returned from some time in Tokyo where I undertook a Japanese papermaking workshop. Would you have any suggestions for buying kozo here in Australia? (I'm Sydney-based)
Best,
Marian

Hi Gail, I have a new blog post that has a poem about paper by Claire Beynon. You may like it.
