I have so much more to share from Jeju, and returned Monday after just over a week there, but need to digest a bit more before sharing (mostly as my wifi has disappeared, requiring late night running downhill to the office to zoom into an American meeting, and tomorrow a dawn walk to record another American interview). It was all nourishing, wonderful, and exactly what I needed exactly when I needed it. This was the sunset (so much more stunning in person) from the apt where Brenda put me up for several days. She has written a wonderful new article about the haenyeo.
For those of you still okay with online learning, Oberlin is hosting a virtual symposium for teachers crafting change. That will include a presentation by the special collections librarian Ed Vermue about the library's maker spaces, including the paper studio I built for Oberlin pre-pandemic.
But the most exciting news today: three papermakers have been named national intangible cultural property holders, including Shin Hyun-se, the best papermaker in the country. His appointment is long overdue but at least not too late. The news is in Korean but you can see him in the top photo. More soon!
