Did you know that there are people that specialize in the making of paper? I am not talking about the person that makes paper as a hobby, I am talking about people that go to university and study it; do their Honours and even Doctorates about paper. I am sure it has a technical name but I don’t know it.
I did not know this until 1999 when I actually met somebody from Finland who was studying towards a Doctorate in paper making. This amazed me as I has always been fascinate in paper, but would never have thought about studying about it. I just collected the stuff.
It is odd, I wonder how many other professions there are out there where people study for years to produce something that everybody just takes for granted.
I’m actually amazed that they can give us unnatural,synthetic food, but paper still comes from trees…
I never knew that you had to go to university to make paper… Its been done for thousands of years!
I don’t know about making paper…but I sure love beautiful paper…must be the scrapbooker in me.
