Nina Moore has always liked to make things.
Whether it’s intricately designed sailboats, precisely painted Easter eggs, or hand-made paper, Ms. Moore likes to create.
Ms. Moore is a papermaker — one of a few in the area.
“You would be surprised how many papermakers there are,” she said.
While Ms. Moore’s speciality is paper, her artistic endeavors extend into several other mediums: clay, paint, beads apd jewerly of various designs.
She and friend Nan Redick restored an original log cabin outside Sperryville several years ago. Behind the cabin, the two built a studio for Ms. Moore’s work space — as papermaking is messy and requires space for work and storage. The studio is small building, square in shape with long uncovered windows and a deck to one side.
Inside, buckets, pans, basins, and tubs of water sit in most of the available space.
In a horseshoe-shape, various colored basins hold water with various colors floating, separating, mixing in the liquid.
Ms. Moore is preparing for her first onewoman show at Middle Street Gallery in Washington in November.
The show includes 10 to 15 items ranging in size from large three-dimensional figures to note cards, paper and other items using the Western and Eastern styles of papermaking.
