About the Workshops
Colored pulps are used to stencil silkscreen images on combat paper
Veterans of wars in Iraq, Viet Nam, World War II and Bosnia, have contributed so far. From each new participant, I take a piece of fabric and mix it into the lineage pulp. This pulp is then mixed in with each new batch of pulp, so a little piece of each vet’s uniform is in every new piece of paper made. The project is collaborative in nature. We carry the strain in each sheet of paper.

In the spring of 2008 several institutions hosted the Combat Paper Workshops, enabling the project to tour the country. Combat Papermakers from the Green Door Studio conducted the workshops as a means to connect with other Iraq War Veterans through making paper art. The primary focus of the spring tour was 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 coast.
You might also want to view a trailer of Sara Nesson's documentary film about the combat paper project; she has been following the emerging story since summer, 2007.
If you wish to host a workshop, contact Drew Cameron for further information on how you can participate in the Combat Paper Project. A listing of where we've been and where we're scheduled to appear in the near future can be found on Workshop Tour page. |
