Khadi Handmade Indian Sunn Hemp Paper (56x76cm) Single Sheets

Made in northern India by perhaps the last surviving maker of traditional Islamic paper, Mahomed Hussain Kagzi, this 90gsm handmade artists' paper is made by laying the pulp on a grass stem screen known as a chapri, which leaves an impression on the sheet as a laid pattern. The sheets are then dried on a plaster wall and surface sized with wheat starch, before pressing between zinc sheets and being burnished with agate stone to produce a smooth surface with a slight sheen. It is ideal for use in calligraphy, or for detailed brush and pen drawing. Available in either pure sunn hemp fibre, or a mixture of pure fibre and recycled sunn hemp. 

Each sheet measures approximately 56x76cm. Sold per sheet. 

PLEASE NOTE: Due to its size, this paper is only available via Click & Collect.
