Han Hui Tang Xuan Paper is a Chinese studio devoted to preserving the traditional craft of handmade Xuan paper. The method begins with a pulp made from tree bark and rice straw, soaked and pounded into a fine mixture. A bamboo screen is carefully dipped into the vat and lifted, allowing a thin sheet to settle evenly across its surface. The sheet is then transferred onto a heated wall to dry slowly, forming light, flexible paper. #globalmuseum #papermaking

Payment for a #papermaking gig I did 2 months ago finally dropped 🙏🏽
This time I didn't waste time emailing them, I know this organization just likes to keep freelancers anxious and hungry. Maybe 2026 will be the year I stop working with them.

A local non profit asked me to do a #papermaking activity for their members, where we'll recycle their outdated flyers and postcards. Great idea, right?
Well I'm pre making some paper so we'll have dry samples available at the event and friends, I finally found a paper that's not worth recycling. The card stock is so brittle that its making paper that's too weak to handle. I had to mix in a lot of shredded mixed office paper to rescue the project.
Luckily the final product looks nice!

@sb Look here

https://www.drewmatott.com/DIY_hollander_beater.html and you'll get a better idea of my plans in this realm. It's definitely above a blender in complexity of a build and what it can yield.

I might grow mulberry bushes too for their fiber but that's less certain than the flax, as linen paper is my top goal.
