After two days of rain and fog and mist and overcast, cloudy skies I awoke this morning (FINALLY!!) to a normal Beaver island morning sunrise. This is the view off the deck of our "condo" (actually, just a staff unit, the one I have been lucky to get two other times). I am so glad we are getting to stay in it because it is just more comfortable for Trudy's visit. In fact, I think it was her heartfelt request that got us in this year!
On the way to class, the sky was clear blue, the HORRIBLE humidity was gone and the moon was bright overhead. Beautiful.
Here is Becka making the first pull of paper of the day.
Trudy and the Clay Class hiked out to French Point for the day, for lunch and to see the sights. they saw the SECOND BIGGEST BIRCH TREE IN THE U.S. and the biggest rock on the island.
While the Clay People were out in nature, we werebusy making paper and books.
This is called "couching" the paper, which is actually forming it in sheets on a screenn then letting it dry. These are vats of the colored pulp.
Sally is instructing us on how to make covers and end papers by "combing" (fake marbling).
