Handmade 100% Cotton-Rag Paper Packs - 250gsm Mid Texture

Each pack, being handmade, is entirely unique in tone and grain, though overall the paper is a mid texture and a heavyweight 250gsm. For a unique and beautiful surface for your creative ideas, these paper packs are unmatched. Suitable for watercolour, and all painting uses, as well as all dry and soft media - for oil painting, the surface will need to be prepared with gesso. Each sheet is individually handmade and features a fully deckled edge. Created entirely by local artisans in Northern India using traditional paper-making methods, and available in a range of paper sizes from A1 to A5, (natural variations in paper size and shape will occur between sheets due to the handmade nature of the product), the Indigo Handmade Cotton-Rag paper comes in packs wrapped in recycled paper. It is also 100% acid-free with a neutral pH and internally gelatine sized.

Being handmade results in a paper with no real discernible grain direction. Some extremely faint marks might be discernible on one side of the paper (imprinted from the screen mesh) however there is no front and back to the surfaces. Each sheet is totally unique

Pack sizes:  A4 -- approx. 35 sheets, A5 - approx 50 sheets of premium, 250gsm mid texture cotton rag paper. 100% handmade Cotton-Rag paper, 250gsm - each sheet is unique - all of which are approximate, due to the unique, handmade nature of each sheet

Please Note - These papers are traditionally sized with a weak gelatine solution (1%). This is an animal derivative and sadly not vegan friendly. We are however currently working on this with local craftspeople towards future resolution
