O, Paper Mill brings papermaking, bookbinding, and poetic journaling practices to Miami through an intensive fellowship program and a series of public workshops and demos.

The core of this project is a fellowship program that will give 4 fellows experience planning and executing public workshops, introducing them to the process of organizing a project for O, Miami while they learn high-level papermaking and bookbinding skills.

The public face of this project is a series of pop up activations at O, Miami events and a round table workshop. The first two are papermaking demos building upon last year’s project with visitors making sheets of paper. The second is a workshop in which participants can learn how to bind their own book of handmade paper and take it with them. The final will be a round table of local poets and artists sharing prompts and activities to help participants confront the blank page and cultivate a writing / journaling / drawing practice in their handmade notebook.

Where’s the poem? Poetry will be featured in a set of professional custom stamps that can be pressed into the wet sheet of paper without ink to create a debossed transfer during the paper demos, then they can be stamped into the books with ink during the bookbinding workshop and the round table workshop.
