CARRIAGE HOUSE PAPER

BROOKLYN /NY

is a professional

hand papermaking studio. Car-

riage House handmade paper is

created in studio from long fibered

pulps including abaca, flax, cotton

and Japanese bast fibers. No syn-

thetic fiber, wood, pulp or recycled

paper is used. The fiber is mixed

with pure water of neutral pH and

beaten to a pulp. Each sheet is in-

dividually made using a traditional

mould and deckle from England.

The colors have excellent light-

fastness so the sheets will not

fade in sunlight and will preserve

its quality.
