Allison making paper with Korea's National Treasure.

This traditional method of making paper has been handed down from generation to generation by this wonderful family who now continue the craft and demonstrate to thousands of visiting craftspeople, artists and tourists. The two sons are now carrying on the bulk of the work while their father is available to assist and demonstrate.
