A PAPERMAKER'S TOUR OF MYANMAR(BURMA) AND BANGKOK THAILAND

Donna Koretsky will lead a small group to Burma (Myanmar) and Bangkok Thailand. The number of participants is limited to eight, in order to make visits to the papermakers as personal as possible.

Dates: February 3 - 19, 2012

We shall be visiting the papermakers and papermaking areas that are described in "The Goldbeaters of Mandalay", a book written by Donna Koretsky and Elaine Koretsky, giving an account of hand papermaking in Burma today. In all the places we visit, general tours will be given to acquaint everyone with the culture, the religion and the art of southeast Asia, all of which provide an important backdrop to the hand papermaking and the other craft and art forms that we shall see.
