B53. A Hand Papermaker's Sourcebook by Sophie Dawson and Silvie Turner.

Papermaking by hand is only done by a small, devoted community of makers, yet the craft draws curiosity from far beyond their ranks, attracting bookbinders, calligraphers, artists, teachers, sculptors, and printers alike. The perennial stumbling block has always been the same: where on earth do you find the supplies and equipment? This book is the answer.

A Hand Papermaker’s Sourcebook gathers a worldwide directory of sources in one place, written to serve seasoned professionals and curious beginners alike. Inside you’ll find where to track down different fiber and pulp, stampers, beaters, molds and deckles, vats, felts, presses, dyes, pigments, and more. Learn where to acquire papermaking kits, Japanese supplies, vacuum systems, pulp sprayers, and a wealth of additional resources such as workshops, magazines, and videos to keep your practice growing.
