Handmade Paper – Sample Book

The Paper Foundation was created to celebrate the remarkable material of paper and to support a community of artists and makers.

They operate a handmade paper mill and are opening the first centre for paper arts in a nearby historic house. They are based in Burneside in the English Lake District, a mill village since the middle-ages and papermaking community since 1746. The organisation was formed by Mark Cropper, sixth-generation papermaker and chair of the renowned James Cropper mill.

The Paper Foundation is a charitable organisation committed to advancing education, arts and heritage, for the benefit of Burneside and beyond.

Right now Polistini has a small stock of papers available. Custom orders can be placed and almost every paper can be made in 60gsm or 100gsm as wove or laid. Please contact me at [email protected] for further details.

I suggest to purchase a Paper Foundation sample book to understand thickness, texture and sizing characteristics.
