FOUNDATION
The International Association of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists (IAPMA) was founded on May 24, 1986 in Düren, Germany. The idea for an international association originated with Fred Siegenthaler (Switzerland), a paper engineer, who had been corresponding with hand papermakers around the world. Fred Siegenthaler and a few friends gathered in 1986 on the occasion of the first international Biennial of Paper Art at Leopold Hoesch Museum in Düren, and thus the association was born. Present at the founding, in addition to Fred Siegenthaler, were Dr. Dorothea Eimert (Germany), Ray Tomasso (USA), Jules Heller (USA), John Koller (USA), Howard Clark (USA), Kathryn Clark (USA), Anne Vilsboll (Denmark), Golda Lewis (USA), Maureen Richardson (United Kingdom), Elaine Koretsky (USA), Sophie Dawson (United Kingdom), Otavio Roth (Brazil), Julie Lawson (United Kingdom), Margit Christen (Belgium), Victoria Rabal (Spain), Paul Ryan (United Kingdom), John Gerard (USA) and Chava Press Burger (Israel).
Dr. Dorothea Eimert, Director of the Leopold Hoesch Museum, was elected President, Ray Tomasso became Vice President and Fred Siegenthaler became Treasurer.
