Much fun celebrating the Morgan's Graduating Professional Papermakers & Cookout on Saturday, July 25th!
Nicole Donnelly moderated a fascinating Q&A with our first cohort of graduating professional papermakers: Julianne Hunter (Ithaca, NY), Moss Nash (Athens, OH), Mia Pons (Oklahoma City, OK), and Omolará Williams McCallister (Miami) as they shared stories about their work, upcoming projects and learning experiences as well as collaborative edition with visual and performance artist Kelly Taylor Mitchell. A fun cookout followed the touching graduation ceremony.
