  • I was very happy that I could take part in Amy Richard´s Kozo Papermaking Class. Yes, it is possible to learn making paper online thanks to her instructive step-by-step lessons with text, photos and videos. And you can make this workshop without buying a lot of expensive tools and equipment. Amy is a really good teacher and the workshop was just great! Recommended.

    Amy's online papermaking workshop was a fantastic learning experience. Her extensive documentation and no-fuss videos from her paper studio guided me on my own papermaking journey and gave me an inspiring insight into her arts practice.

    I very much enjoyed Amy Richard’s Kozo papermaking class. I started out with very little knowledge of kozo or Japanese papermaking and by the end of her course, had made paper from kozo starting from the bark. Her videos and instructions are very thorough and she is a wonderful and kind teacher. Highly recommended for anyone interested in learning about working with kozo fiber!

    Amy shared her creative process very generously and led the students to discuss questions during the class. After finishing the class, I got rich paper-making knowledge and interesting experience. Even if the course is online, it is still very understandable from Amy's tutorial videos!     —Ching-Ya Lin [Taiwan]
