Juliette Losq: Exeter Paper Mills Exhibition
Juliette Losq exhibits in ‘Paper and Print: Exploring the history of paper making in Exeter’ at Positive Light Projects in Exeter.
“Double Elephant Print Workshop will be showcasing the fascinating discoveries made during Paper and Print – a year-long community research project into Exeter’s paper mills. The exhibition is the culmination of the project which has been run by Double Elephant in partnership with Prof Nicola Thomas, Head of Geography at the University of Exeter, and funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Working with a team of volunteer community researchers, they have pieced together stories of the people working in the mills. A team of 15 researchers visited former mill sites in Exeter and along the Exe and Culm rivers. They talked to residents, descendants of mill owners and former paper mill workers. They collected memories, oral histories and undertook archive research in the Devon Heritage Centre, Exeter Cathedral Library & Archives and The Devon and Exeter Institution.”
