Sam Link from Minneapolis.

Sam spent time sewing the 10 sections of 4 folded leaves together. The paper is 'Eden Grove Laid' 90 gsm with a lovely crown watermark. In my research I find the paper mill where this paper was made is in Scotland. It started its life as a tannery in 1822 then converted to a paper mill about 1858. The mill has been closed down for 10 years but has been restored as a working papermaking museum.

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.
