Barbara DiSalvo
 
Barbara has been making handmade paper off and on for many years. Initially she made paper back in the 70’s, but really didn’t get hooked until June of 2012 at Feather River Art Camp, a beautiful Sierra Nevada environment near Quincy, California. That is where she spent a week of hands on paper making. It was such a rewarding experience that she did it again in 2013. Over time, Barbara gathered the equipment & supplies to make paper on her own. She has developed her own practices and procedures to make beautiful handmade paper since then.
