We are excited to host Mary Hark here in the Annapolis Valley. Mary and I (Patricia) met in Minneapolis last year. We left her with samples of our fibre and she made some incredible paper for us. The kind of paper we could use everyday if we wanted. The kind of paper that we could make right here at home once we learned how. Just talking on the phone with Mary is exciting. We are thankful she is giving of her time to travel here to teach us and share with us her skill and her experiences.
Mary Hark will share her work as a production papermaker, artist, and educator. With her Frogtown neighbors in St. Paul, she makes high quality paper from urban bio-waste for art projects; with naturalists and design students, she makes papers from local plants found on a restored prairie in rural Madison, Wisconsin; and with Ghanaian colleagues in Kumasi, Ghana, she works to establish a small paper mill for art, design, and small industry. Working in these diverse environments and using the transformative nature of handmade paper, Hark has built a creative life grounded in making and community-building.
