Making your own paper
Hand paper-making has enjoyed a revival in the last 30 years, involving the use of new approaches to an ancient craft. Hand-made paper has a unique texture and an individual quality that makes it not only a surface for writing, painting or printing, but an object of beauty in its own right. Also, the versatility of paper in its wet form has led artists to experiment with paper-making as an art medium, creating two and three-dimensional images of textural richness and diversity, sometimes on a vast scale.
