Since the 15th century, the finest Western style papers have been made from linen and/or cotton rag. This 100% cotton rag is added to water and then beaten using a hollander beater which strengthens and bruises the fiber. This enables the fiber to form strong and even bonds during the sheet making process. The fiber is then screened, using a mold and deckle, which allows the water to drain from the pulp.
The newly formed wet sheets are then couched onto felts and pressed to remove any additional water, then separated and allowed to dry. The final formed sheets of paper have four deckle edges, further indicating to the world its distinctive handmade nature.

It is in this tradition of fine handmade papermaking that we offer you our services.
