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.
Married to Allison for 45 years, 3 sons, David, Russell and Paul. I have been primary school teaching in New Zealand for 32 years and for the last 11 years have been developing a Book Art Studio, Library, Art Gallery and substantial warehouse of printmaking equipment and materials. We have a Letterpress Printing and Bookbinding Museum that is a working collection. I have invented an A4 relief printing press and an A3 hydraulic printing press that I manufacture and sell throughout New Zealand with sales into 5 countries overseas. Allison and I have written, illustrated, set, printed, bound and published over 100 titles of artist books.
