25 Days of Paper 2016, Day 10
Japanese washi / paper is renowned for it’s purity, elegance and strength. Small format handmade sheets are delightful to work with and make wonderful pages for artists’ books, and are exquisite for printmaking (particularly lino and woodblock prints), as well as letterpress and monoprints. The long fibers are wonderful for absorbing and reflecting wax encaustic and sumi inks. Pure-fibered Japanese papers are beautifully receptive to all media including ink, watercolor, graphite and pastel.
Try a range of these papers – select a few to try or as a special for readers of this blog, order one of each at a special price. These small sheets range in price from $3.00 to $8.00.
