Four kinds of paper from the same vats. Lift one out of the fan to see only what we make in it.

Sold by weight

Each paper stands as tall as it weighs. Light sheets for letters, heavier ones for drawing and paint — read them against the ruler, or sort the table by gsm.

From rag to sheet

Five days on the line

Every sheet goes through the same five pairs of hands before it reaches a stack.

  1. 01

    Sort the rag

    Off-cuts of cotton from Jaipur’s garment workshops are sorted by colour and cut into small squares.

  2. 02

    Beat the pulp

    The rag is soaked and beaten for hours until it loosens into a soft, white slurry.

  3. 03

    Lift the sheet

    The papermaker dips the mould and deckle into the vat, lifts, shakes once each way — and a sheet is formed.

  4. 04

    Press and dry

    Sheets are pressed between felts, then pegged on lines in the open field to dry in the sun.

  5. 05

    Size and smooth

    Dipped in gelatine so ink sits on the surface, then pressed between plates for the writing papers.
