Friends of Dard Hunter 2017 Annual Meeting Chasing Paper | Atlanta, Georgia October 11-13, 2017 Deadline for Submissions: Monday, April 17, 2017. Please email this form to:
[email protected]. Dard Hunter spent much of his prolific career traveling to some of the most remote regions in the world in pursuit of the craft of papermaking. His legacy is evident in the countless papermakers, printers, artists, scientists, historians, and educators who use paper as their primary medium today. Chasing Paper, the 2017 Friends of Dard Hunter annual meeting, celebrates the quest for paper to inspire new avenues in scholarship, innovation, technology, and artistic practice. Hosted by the Robert C. Williams Museum of Papermaking in Atlanta, Georgia, from October 11-13, 2017, Chasing Paper honors the myriad of ways that traditional methods of papermaking have inspired new methods of artistic, scientific, and technological innovation. Conference attendees will have the opportunity to receive a behind the scenes tour of the Robert C. Williams Museum of Papermaking, to view artifacts and materials from the historic Dard Hunter Collection, as well as papers, tools, machines, and manuscripts on the history of paper and paper technology. In addition to proposing lectures, panels, and demonstrations, we invite members to also consider leading breakout sessions that will facilitate a meaningful dialogue on topics such as history and tradition, research and development, vision and expression, and community and society. It is our hope that this inspiring setting will encourage a revitalized sense of community, expression, and exchange in the spirit of Dard Hunter.
