Our handmade deckle edge cotton art & craft paper is suitable for many types of craft, such as artwork, book-binding, stationery, and printmaking.

Each sheet is hand lifted, pressed, and dried with care using heritage papermaking techniques from high quality, white cotton rag. The result is soft, luxe paper, with natural feathery deckle edges.

Our paper is made from 100% cotton and are naturally acid-free.

The paper is available in one size called Imperial Plus, which measures approximately 26" x 34.5" (66 cm x 88 cm).

The deckle edges on our paper which are formed as part of the traditional hand-papermaking process when the paper pulp meets the deckle at the edge of the mould. The result is a natural, delicate, and feathery edge of fine fibres.

All of our paper with a natural deckle edge will contain very slight marks and indentations on the sides and corners which arise from the traditional hand-papermaking process, such as felt impressions from couching and clip impressions from drying.

There are some differences in our pieces due to the traditional hand-papermaking techniques used to make our paper.

There can be a variation in size (±10%), weight (±20%), and even colour shade between individual pieces due to a number of factors, such as the consistency of the pulp when lifting each sheet, the felts we use on a particular batch, the pressure used when pressing, and the humidity of the air when the pieces dry. Each factor causes slight variance in its own way. As such, all sizes, weights, and colours are approximate. While we do try to control these factors, there will still be variation in the finished pieces.

The raw material for our paper is recycled cotton offcuts from the local garment industry.

There are two main chemicals used in our papermaking:

1. An internal sizing agent to help bond the cotton fibres. Our internal sizing is acid-free.
2. Dyes. The dyes used in our paper are from the textile industry as they are the most durable against fading. However, we are in the process of sourcing natural dyes.

We also treat and recycle the water used in our papermaking process, removing stray fibres and colouring. The treated water is used in the grounds of our factory, watering our gardens and coconut trees.
