Paper Foundation Handmade Colored Papers

We are pleased to offer this beautiful range of handmade colored papers made exclusively of the finest quality materials and techniques for bookbinders, artists, and conservators.

This beautiful range of colored papers are made from locally sourced recycled cotton rags which produce the highest quality sheets of paper. The color are rich and complex, all sheets have four natural deckle edges, and a watermark in the lower right hand corner.

Sheets vary in size due to historic molds, but all are approximately 625 x 505mm (25 x 20 inches) in size and are 100gsm.

Paper Foundation staff trained under and ultimately inherited Griffen Mill upon the retirement of the former papermakers there, and are proud to continue to produce many of their papers. Paper Foundation was created to preserve the craft of papermaking by hand and to celebrate the remarkable material of paper. The organization was formed by Mark Cropper, a 6th generation papermaker, and chair of the prestigious James Cropper Paper Mill.
