The latest issue of Surface Design Magazine is devoted to paper and books. 
There is work by Mary Hark on the cover and an excellent article about her. 
Allison Roscoe has written a powerful article about the Combat Paper Project.
The work of Amy Jacobs is well illustrated and Daniella Woolf, who showed
encaustic at the 2010 IAPMA meeting, has outdone herself with a great article
about book makers and paper artists in Santa Cruz, Ca.
http://www.surfacedesign.org/publications/sda-journal

Hand/Eye magazine, which I get online for free, has four articles about artists
using paper:

A workshop with Brugge calligrapher, Liesbet Boudens. Liesbet spent three days
with the Los Angeles-area Society for Calligraphy. Enthusiasm ran high, with
participants, coming early, staying late and skipping breaks, too engrossed in
their work to break away. Almost everybody produced one exhibit-worthy piece and
several produced more than one piece. http://gallery.me.com/sadlerweb/100486

The Friends of Dard Hunter, an international organization that connects and
educates papermakers, will have a regional meeting
here in Santa Barbara from Oct. 18 - 23rd.  I have asked our members to spend
one afternoon demonstrating papermaking to anyone who is interested.  On Oct. 22
we will have a free public Hand Papermaking Festival at Littlewood Studios from
2-5.

The conference is being held at the Mission, and my studio is a few blocks walk
from there.  You are invited to both. Details of the conference are on the
Friends website, below.

I can safely say this will be the only time 40 hand papermakers will convene in
Santa Barbara anytime soon!
