On Sunday afternoon, June 29, from
1:00 until 5:00 pm, join
Sid Berger and Michele Cloonan at their home for a light
lunch and a guided tour of their remarkable paper
collection.
This unique opportunity in Newton,
Massachusetts (7 miles outside Boston, see map below) is limited to 20
guests, so sign up now by calling Hand Papermaking at (800)
821-6604 or mail/fax this form.
Sid and Michele have spent decades
assembling their collection, which includes paper as old as
740 A.D., scores of marbled sheets by Dutch artist Karli
Frigge, securities notes from czarist Russia, Japanese
"Garden of Dreams" papers with x-rated watermarks, the
world's lightest paper (a gossamer sheet by Gangolf
Ulbricht), and proto-papers such as papyrus, parchment, and
tapa.
Sid Berger is the Ann C. Pingree
Director of the Phillips Library at the Peabody Essex
Museum. He is also on the board of Hand Papermaking, Inc., a
non-profit publisher dedicated to advancing traditional and
contemporary ideas in the art of hand papermaking. He
is asking that tour participants make a $50 tax-deductible
donation to Hand Papermaking. Current subscribers will be
given priority. Call (800) 821-6604 to reserve a spot, or
