About Nancy Botkin: My grandparents are Heman and Edith, so I've always spent a lot of time in Mill Hollow. One of the biggest treats when I was a kid was to get invited to "work" alongside Heman in his office while he was working on his maps. He let me use his drafting equipment and the drawing tools in his drawers. In recent years, my main creative outlet has been book crafts, including handmade books, miniature books, and decorative paper techniques. I am fascinated by the history of books and the alphabet. I'm mostly self-taught through books and videos, plus I've taken a few classes at the San Francisco Center for the Book.
