    About Me

    My photo
    Edward
    I spent my childhood on a dairy farm on the North West Coast of Tasmania in the early 1940s and 1950s. I attended Art School and University in Hobart in the early 1960s and initially qualified as an art teacher. My first posting was to King Island, situated off the NW coast of Tasmania in Bass Strait. I married in 1966, and my wife and I spent a year working in Papua New Guinea with Australian Volunteers Abroad in 1967. After spending 3 years back in Tasmania,in 1971 we returned to Papua New Guinea with our first 3 children, where I lectured in art education at Madang Teacher’s College. Three years later it was back to Tasmania where I lectured in Art Education at the University of Tasmania. During my time there from 1974-1996,I was introduced to the art and craft of hand papermaking and bookbinding. From 1999 until May 2006 I served in the Conservation Office at the Baha’i World Centre in Haifa, Israel. I devoted my time to working with the preservation, conservation and binding of books – both old and new. In May 2006 we returned to live in Tasmania.
