Gold-Infused handmade paper, or the “Golden Touch paper”
For centuries all paper was made by hand, then the machines took over, lowering prices and losing the human craft component.
Today, the traditions and techniques of handmade paper survive, sometimes adding new elements to make unique paper. For example, paper with flecks of gold.
Come learn about handmade paper, the craft, the art, and then make some Golden Touch handmade paper!

Yama Ploskonka is catching up on life as he chose a few years ago to become a papermaker when he grows up. He was a teacher, computer and robotic geek besides much else in many places, and generally spends his time now sharing ways of making things before those skills gets lost and forgotten. Since 2016 he started Papel Texano in Austin, to encourage people to make paper and especially to use handmade paper for prints and books, like it had been for hundreds of years
