Hand Paper Making

Hand Paper Making

The process of making paper by hand. Interwoven fibres are deposited on a screen, by passing the screen through a water bath containing suspended fibres. This mat of fibres is dried and pressed between rollers to make a sheet of paper. Most paper is made from wood or plant pulp, other fibrous material like cotton and textiles can also be used. Making paper out of pulp of old papers is called recycling paper.
