Making paper, Papermaking

What a GREAT Papermaking workshop with the incredible Carole Beach. Lots of fun experimenting and we had so many wonderful results. This was the last of our workshops for the year, but look out for future events and demonstrations that will take place in conjunction with our huge exhibition coming up in October.

These boots were made for walkin. . .

Gretchen brought us Ralphie on Wednesday and he was a STELLAR model! Cheapest one too! Got a 2 week break till we reconvene in September.

The Sound and the Fury

Faulkner was great, but Salinger was probably better. Consensus last night was that Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan is CLEARLY the best Trek of all time. Beloved by so many, Nicholas Meyer's Directors Cut will be released theatrically in September! Everyone's favorite line in that movie is Spock's "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." So poignant and true. After seeing Dunkirk which is the best war movie since All Quiet on The Western Front we also picked our top war movies. Other topics included awesome sci fi concepts such as Alien which had by far the best tag line: In Space no one can hear you scream. We also discussed incredible actors of which SIR Anthony Hopkins is at the top of the list, especially his portrayal of the insane madman Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs. Also on the list were Martin Scorsese's best films which include Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Departed and Silence. Fun times!

Soccer is the way to big bucks!

As long as you keep your eyes closed that is. Great work last night from everyone - methinks we needs a new animated gif. New rule: there shall be NO FIXATIVE spraying indoors! Tommy will be heartbroken to be sure, but it must be done. Don't forget folks PAPERMAKING workshop with Carole Beach on Saturday, August 19, spaces are still available, REGISTER TODAY!
