In the spring of 2008 several institutions will host the Combat Paper Workshops, enabling the project to tour the country. Combat Papermakers from the Green Door Studio will be conducting the workshops as a means to connect with other Iraq War Veterans through making paper art. The primary focus of the spring tour is to train a team of Los Angeles veterans on how to make paper and conduct workshops, passing the torch from the east to the west. A series of pulp prints on Combat Paper was included in "Mutanabbi Street: An Exhibition of Broadsides" curated by Kathleen Walkup, Director of the Book Arts Program at Mills College displayed at the San Francisco Center for the Book, and showed in St. Louis at the Craft Alliance as part of "The Imbedded Image: Current Work in Hand Papermaking" exhibit curated by Tom Lang. In addition, combat paper portfolios have been added to the permanent collections at the University of Cincinnati, Lafayette College, Western Carolina University, the Boston Athenaeum and the Library of Congress. Our thanks to Marshall Weber and our friends at Booklyn Artists Alliance; they are responsible for marketing and distributing the Combat Paper portfolios.
On Armistice Day, 2007 St. Lawrence University hosted a Combat Paper Workshop. |
