NEW FIBER SURVEY with Karen Urbanek.

We spent time exploring new sustainable high tech fibers now available, such as Bamboo, Corn, Soy and Milk Proteins. All have interesting characteristics not yet fully explored and all can be layered to make paper!

Many thanks for Symposium photos submitted by Kirsti Palmén, Betsy Samuelsen, and Carla Sundström.
