Papermaking at Dion Channer's studio and papermill

Below are photos from the Papermakers' weekend in 2011 with Dion Channer at his studio north of Gympie.

Dion is originally from the UK but lived in Italy before coming to Australia. When he came to Australia he brought all his papermaking equipment including Hollander beater and vacuum table with him, as well as a large amount of unprocessed mulberry fibre. His equipment and fibre took up a 20 ft. container.

The 9 papermakers spent the weekend experimenting with the vacuum table, making large sheets of paper measuring approx 2m x 1m, as well as cooking, beating, and couching sheets of paper from Dion's fibre supply of mulberry bark fibre and cotton linters. They also used their own fibre including banana and a weed from Helga's property.

Several of the papermakers have subsequently returned to Dion's studio to work on individual projects.
