Amy Jacobs is an artist and extremely skilled paper maker who works with the nonprofit Dieu Donné as their Co-Director of Artistic Projects and Master Collaborator. She works with the institution to serve established and emerging artists through the collaborative creation of contemporary art using paper making. Amy talks about the vast potential of paper, from making a simple sheet to pulp painting to mold making and the rewards of collaborating with artists such as Ursula von Rydingsvard, Anne Hamilton, Jim Hodges, Erin Riley, and Carrie Moyer. Amy’s favorite tool is a good pair of sharp tweezers and the Fogg It nozzle.
