Set in the small town of Brookston, Indiana, The Mark of the Maker introduces papermakers Kathryn and Howard Clark, who began work as a printmaker and mechanical engineer, respectively. In 1972, they built Twinrocker, a hand paper mill, on the family farm -- the first hand mill in America since 1929. Through Kathryn and Howard's tenacity, Twinrocker became the foundation of contemporary hand paper making, with thousands of sheets of Twinrocker paper being shipped across the U.S. and Europe.
