  • Handmade Paper: a Review of Its History, Craft, and Science
    REVIEW ARTICLE bioresources.com HANDMADE PAPER: A REVIEW OF ITS HISTORY, CRAFT, AND SCIENCE Martin A. Hubbe a* and Cindy Bowden b For over 2000 years the manual craft of papermaking has been practiced all over the world utilizing a variety of techniques. This review describes the evolution of hand papermaking and its cultural significance. Paper’s evolution has been shaped by the structure and chemical composition of the fibers. Almost every aspect of modern papermaking technology has been foreshadowed by traditional practices. Such practices were passed down for many generations within families of papermakers. The main sources of cellulosic fiber evolved as the ancient craft migrated from its birthplace in China to Korea and Japan, the Islamic world, and then to Europe and America. Though most paper made today comes from automated, continuous production systems, handmade paper has enjoyed a resurgence, both as a traditional craft and as an art-form. In addition, traditional papermaking methods can provide insights to help in modern applications involving cellulosic fibers. Keywords: Handmade paper; History; Handcraft; Science; Cellulosic fibers Contact information: a: Department of Forest Biomaterials; North Carolina State University; Campus Box 8005; Raleigh, NC 27695-8005 USA; b: Robert C. Williams American Museum of Papermaking, Inst. of Paper Science and Technology, Mail Code 0620, Georgia Tech., Atlanta, GA 30332-0620; *Corresponding author: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Whenever people engage their hands and minds to make paper, there is a continuing opportunity for evolution of the craft. Each maker adopts or selectively omits parts of the methods that have been passed down to them, sometimes inventing new techniques.

  • No-Blender Pulp Painting
    Copyright © 2009, 2020 Dick Blick Art Materials All rights reserved 800-447-8192 DickBlick.com No-Blender Pulp Painting “Paint” with a pulp created from torn tissue paper and water Felting is an ancient fiber craft that transforms the fibers of wool (or wool yarn) into a dense cloth by bonding and shrinking the fibers together with heat, agitation and moisture. In Korea, a traditional papermaking technique called “Joomchi” uses a similar process with rice paper. Water and agitation cause the paper fibers to shrink and bond with one another, which can then be sculpted and formed into thick, textural artwork and surfaces. In the western art world, “Pulp Painting” is a paper art technique that involves the process of creating pulp, combining it with an adhesive and reforming it into a sheet of paper. This project is a simple, tidy way to create the look of pulp painting without the mess of a blender or even the use of adhesive. Non- bleeding tissue paper is combined with water and agitated (torn) so that the paper fibers separate and make a rough pulp. Pressing the paper onto an absorbent (canvas) surface causes the fibers to re- bond with one another and, when dry, form a thicker, stronger paper. GRADES K-12 Note: Instructions and materials are based upon a class size of 24 students. Adjust as needed. Preparation 1. Pulp paintings will need to be created on a smooth, absorbant surface such as unprimed canvas, denim or linen. For best Materials (required) results, secure the fabric temporarily to a piece of scrap corrugate card board with Blick Art Tissue, 20 color assortment staples or masking tape.

  • Research for Alternative Material and Its Effect on Seed Germination in Seed Tapes Products
    Research for alternative material and its effect on seed germination in seed tapes products Sam Mervyn Millington A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Masters of Philosophy Faculty of Environment and Technology Bristol Institute of Technology University of the West of England May 2018 Word Count: 16 640 Abstract ‘Seed tapes’ are a length of biodegradable tissue paper, acting as a carrier, containing seeds. The seed tape is unrolled into a shallow trench and covered with soil, ensuring that all seeds are planted at even intervals. Manufacturers in the seed tape industry aim to produce products with crop sizes that are as good as, or better than, loose seeds. However, little is known about the principal component that affects the crop size produced by seed tapes, the carrier material, and its influential properties. The focus of this report is to describe a series of experiments, used to test the suitability of alternative seed tape materials. The experiments analysed the performance of the seed tape products on a number of metrics; germination count, germination rate, penetration count and penetration rate; all are factors that influence the growth performance of the seed tapes. The fundamental performance indicator for consumers is crop size, which is measured by the penetration of seedlings through the seed tape material. The experiments analysed twelve different species and batches of seeds with a total of six thousand, two hundred seeds over the three phases of the experiments. The first phase of the experiment demonstrated that the crop size produced from loose seed is higher than the crop size produced from seed tape products.

  • 1 PAPER TYPES for PRINTMAKING Choosing the Right Paper for An
    VAF 253: Printmaking I Instructor: Micah Zavacky Spring 2019 Email: [email protected] PAPER TYPES FOR PRINTMAKING Choosing the right paper for an edition can be difficult, as many beautiful options exist in the world. In this handout, I am going to differentiate two main types of paper used for printmaking, and offer recommendations based on my printing experience. Generally, paper is distinguished by its country of origin, and can be classified as “Eastern” or “Western”. Eastern (Asia) Paper made from plant fibers, specifically in Japan (washi). “Rice paper”, “Japanese rice paper”, and “Japanese paper” are commonly used to refer to paper made in the East, despite a paper’s true country of origin. It is not correct to refer to all rice papers as Japanese, as not all rice papers are made in Japan. Rice paper is made from the rice paper plant. However, “rice paper” is often used as a catch-all term for Eastern papers, although many of these papers are not made from the rice paper plant. Paper made in Japan has a specific name, washi, which translates to, “Japanese paper”. > “Wa” meaning Japanese, and “shi” meaning paper. Traditionally, washi is made from the fibers of three plants: > gampi, mitzumata, and kozo (mulberry) (391) 1. Washi is made by hand in many Japanese villages, using one of the three plant fibers, above. At times, wood pulp is also added to provide additional absorbency and cushion. In contrast to Western paper, washi is made from plant fibers inside the bark of gampi, mitzumata, or kozo. Names of papers often refer to the towns or villages where the paper is made, and vary due to: > Percentage of plant fiber, where it’s from, did they grow it themselves, did they add pulp, did they add anything else? Western (European) Paper created in Europe or North America, specifically in France and Germany.

  • Lan Su Garden Plant Talks Edgeworthia Chrysantha​邊緣菊花
    Lan Su Garden Plant Talks 邊緣菊花 Edgeworthia chrysantha​ ​ ​(biānyuán júhuā) Elizabeth Cha Smith (March 15, 2018) “Had I been born Chinese, I would have been a calligrapher, not a painter.” - Pablo Picasso (1965) Edgeworthia in Lan Su In our garden, volunteers know ​Edgeworthia chrysantha​ as the “Chinese paper bush” or just “paper bush.” Starting in early January, we start to notice its button-like green buds in Bed #20S behind the gift shop, and by early February we see them turning into golden yellow flower heads dangling at the tips of ternate (three-pronged) branches that extend from naked base branches. Edgeworthia is also known as “yellow daphne” because these plants belong to the same family and have similar fragrances and flowers. The combination of edgeworthia’s small, delicate yellow flower clusters and their gentle fragrance is a delightful surprise for our visitors, and it is really nice to know that the blooming will continue for several more weeks while we are still in winter mode. Although the symbolic value of edgeworthia in Chinese culture is not clear to me, I did read about how its flowers, bark, and roots have been used in folk medicine for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and to treat ocular diseases as well as insomnia and depression. Chasing a Paper Trail Because of edgeworthia’s most common name, “paper bush”, I was interested in learning more about how the Chinese and other cultures used it to make paper. Imagine my surprise when I read ​The Paper Trail​ (a highly regarded monograph on the history of paper) and found that the author, Alexander Monro, does not mention edgeworthia once in his almost 400 page book! Despite my difficulty in finding out more about whether or how Chinese used edgeworthia in paper-making, archeologists/historians have known for a long time that the Chinese first invented more primitive forms of paper during the second century BCE using hemp (European paper-making dates to the 16th century).
