Internships

I take interns who are interested in learning about the papermaking process in exchange for helping out around the studio.

Local interns usually come in one day a week and out-of-town internships range from 2-4 weeks in length. I’ve had interns from around the world: Maryland Institute College of Art, the University of Alabama, Savannah College of Art & Design, California, Oregon, Memphis and India.

The well-equipped professional papermaking studio is located in North Portland. Equipment includes a Davis-Hodges 2 lb hollander beater, Western & Eastern moulds & deckles ranging in size from 8x10" up to 4’ x 6’, a hydraulic press, and a restraint drying system.

2010 Summer Intern Allison Milham, from the University of Alabama, assists with a children’s workshop.
