In search of a unique paper for watercolor paintings, but also inkjet print, or acrylic and oil painting, Papierwerk Glockenbach has devel-oped a wonderfully strong paper with a distinctive deckle edge. It con-sists of 80% pure cotton fiber (linters) and 20% flax, which gives the sheet its special stability.

Length 72 cm

These handmade sheets of paper were handcrafted from a great variety of fibers such as cotton linters, Flax, Sisal, Abaca, Hemp or cotton and dyed depending on the customer requirements.

The pattern was achieved by spraying fibres in extremely thin layers using a pulp spryer. The compressed air creates a typical dotted structure that embellishes any sheet of handmade paper.

In their wood workshop, Raphael & Annamaria are able to build individual paper moulds and thus realize unusual formats. The moulds can also be watermarked. A lettering or a symbol is sewn onto the scoop with fine copper wire. The fibre pulp settles less at this point when scooping, and becomes correspondingly thinner and more translucent.

After they received a request for a large amount of large format paper last year, Raphael & Annamaria had to come up with something to produce very large paper as efficiently as possible. In order to do so, they built a large cast table. The casting table is mounted on rollers, to distribute the fibbers evenly with shaking movements.
