autumn evening light gently illuminating our papermaking hill and studio... the bottle circle has some shamanic appearance, don't you think? :)
A happy and sunny weekend to all of you!
Fill the blender about 2/3 full of water. Be kind to yourself and let the water temperature be between tepid and bathwater warm, no need to go plunging your hands into cold water.
Model of The Museum of Papermaking in Duszniki Zdrój In the Miniature Park in Kowary, which we visited when we were in Karkonosze. Below (in first comment) you can see this building in original, 'cos we were there in 2018 :)
Museum of Papermaking - today the Paper Mill is considered a unique monument of technology with high historical value. The Paper Mill was built at the beginning of the 17th century in a fast developing Silesian city. This building is considered one of the most interesting industrial buildings in Europe with rich traditions reaching back to the Middle Ages. Today the Paper Mill proudly functions as a museum and is a grand tourist attraction in Kłodzko Valley. This miniature was built by six artists in two months.
The Lower Silesia Monuments Miniature Park in Kowary was created in 2003 in the area of old carpet factory that is not working today. The goal of this park is to create a euroregion information centre. You will see there perfectly made models of castles, palaces, monasteries and city-halls from Lower Silesia region, all are made in scale 1:25, besides model of Karkonosze with Śnieżka mountain (1602) because which gabarits required bigger scale, 1:50. Miniatures have been made by assistance of newest modeler technique, at use of whether proof so it can stay outside all season.

Model Muzeum Papiernictwa w Dusznikach Zdroju w Parku Miniatur w Kowarach, który odwiedziliśmy będąc w Karkonoszach. Poniżej (w pierwszym komentarzu) zdjęcie tego budynku w oryginale, zrobione gdy byliśmy tam w 2018r. :)
Muzeum Papiernictwa w Dusznikach Zdroju - uznawany za unikatowy zabytek techniki młyn papierniczy powstał w prężnie rozwijającej się przemysłowo śląskiej miejscowości na przełomie wieku XVII-go. Już jako sama budowla zaliczany jest do najciekawszych pod względem architektonicznym obiektów przemysłowych w Europie, o bogatej, sięgającej schyłku średniowiecza, tradycji. Młyn, pełniący w dzisiejszych czasach dumną funkcję muzeum, posiada dużą wartość historyczną regionu i jest jednocześnie ciekawą atrakcją turystyczną kotliny kłodzkiej. Model budowało sześcioro modelarzy przez dwa miesiące.
Park Miniatur Zabytków Dolnego Śląska w Kowarach - powstał w 2003 roku na terenie nie działającej już dziś fabryki dywanów. Znajdują się w nim perfekcyjnie wykonane modele zamków, pałaców, klasztorów oraz ratuszy z terenu Dolnego Śląska, wszystkie zrobione są w skali 1:25, wraz z największą w Polsce Miniaturą gór, jakimi w tym przypadku jest pasmo Karkonoszy, wraz ze Śnieżką (1602 m n.p.m.) oraz wiernie odtworzonymi szlakami i schroniskami. Miniatury zostały wykonane za pomocą najnowszych technik modelarskich, przy użyciu materiałów odpornych na oddziaływanie warunków atmosferycznych.

Beautiful garden around The Museum of Papermaking in Duszniki-Zdrój. In the background on the right you can see a building of the museum :)
The Museum of Papermaking in Duszniki-Zdrój – a museum located in Duszniki-Zdrój in Poland, founded in 1968 in an old 17th century paper mill on the Bystrzyca Dusznicka river. The paper mill is one of the most architecturally valuable industrial monuments in Europe. It is characteristic for its shingle roofing trimmed with a baroque volute from the west and the original entrance pavilion and inside the building – the 17-19th century wall paintings. The museum displays mainly exhibitions on the history of paper, it's role in the development of civilization and application in everyday life. The paper mill is one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments (Pomnik historii), as designated October 12, 2011 and tracked by the National Heritage Board of Poland. The museum is the only preserved and still running building of this kind in Poland and one of the very few in Central Europe. People who visit the museum can take part in papermaking workshops and make their own piece of paper there.

Obecnie trwają starania o wpisanie zabytkowej papierni na listę UNESCO.
The Fox Valley has had an impressive concentration of industry (mainly papermaking) and a maze of tracks to serve those industries for about 150 years. Over that time the fortunes of the C&NW, MILW and SOO would rise and fall several times. With those changing fortunes the paper traffic would be at times neglected, taken for granted or abused by the railroads. Wisconsin Central made a concerted effort to serve the area well and had much success. Canadian National may not have that same focus as WC did and the industry has faced larger struggles of its own.
I've seldom seen more of a stark visual example of a business giving up on rail and in favor of trucking. The rails still cross the street here on North Lake St but they don't go anywhere or connect to anything. Where there once was a bank of boxcar loading docks there is a new set of six tractor trailer bays. I don't know the whole story, and it seems this may not be a paper company anymore but perhaps a warehouser or distribution center. Regardless, it's yet another source of rail traffic gone forever.

The effects of different writing implements on handmade post-consumer recycled paper (no size added). For better detail, look at the different sizes.
For an example of how watercolour looks on both sized and unsized paper, and a very basic how to look here.
Gather what you need. Most things are household items, except for the screen and the vat. It goes easier if you work near a water source, and where you can spill water without worries.

Museum
The museum structure was build inside the authentic ancient paper mill to let the visitors start a fascinating journey discovering the main stages in the development of papermaking, from its origin up until the 20th century. First the oldest part opens up to visitors, and the discover of every different steps about the centuries-old history art of papermaking. The raw materials utilized to make paper were rags (from linen, cotton or hemp fabrics). They were then sorted out and cut. The shredded rags were immerse in stone vats full of water and quicklime to soak and left to macerate. These stone vats are still to be seen in the museum. After soaking, the rags were placed into special wooden vats where they were beaten by a set of hammers driven by an external water wheel and transformed into a fine white pulp. The rag pulp was then transformed into a sheet of paper by the master paper maker by using a special rectangular mould.
After being pressed to remove di excess water, the sheets were hung to dry one by one in a vast drying area in the upper floors. Finally they were immersed into animal glue in order to prevent them from absorbing too much ink and ready to be flattened in the smoothing room. There is also a special industrial archaeology room where you can admire remains found during the excavation works carried out by archaeologists in the Paper Valley. A brand new interactive table will let you experience the daily life in an old paper mill. A room is dedicated to the story of the typographers Paganini where you can admire rare and precious volumes, printed in Toscolano the first half of 16th Century.
Paper Museum History
The paper mill in Maina Inferiore
The central part of the Paper Mill Valley, known as “Maina” is divided into three main areas: “Inferiore” (meaning “lower”part) “di Mezzo” (meaning the part “in the middle”) and “Superiore”(“upper” part). The paper museum is located in the heart of the ancient paper mill in Maina Inferiore, which oldest core dates back to the 15th and 16th century. Engravings and pictures illustrate how the building structure must have looked like between the 18th and the 19th centuries. In the upper floors, walls had special wide rectangular openings provided with wooden grills to let the sheet of paper drying out. Important structural changes were then necessary and the modernisation became unavoidable so a continuous papermaking machine was here installed (the first one appeared already in the year 1875 in Maina Superiore). By the end of the 19th century among the machines in the Paper Mill Valley there were 5 Hollander beaters, a continuous papermaking machine, 2 steam boilers and a dynamo one. The landscape of the valley changed deeply and still today near the cypresses in Maina Inferiore appears a 33 meters high (108 feet) smokestack, the only one undamaged. The fact that the closure of the activity in Maina Inferiore came later in time, gave the possibility to the retired paper workers to keep track of their memories, and nowadays this place offers its visitors a unique tour of the centuries-old history art of papermaking and the steps involved while making every sheet of paper by hand.
Project History
Between the years 2000 and 2007 the architectural renovation of Maina Inferiore aimed at creating a high quality handmade papermaking place, especially focused on watermarked handmade paper. The renovation hasn’t been carried out only by aiming at the conservation of an historical important paper mill, which played a big role in the valley development. The architectural complex was functionally rebuilt to becoming the core of different activities tied together by the same common thread: the fascinating world of papermaking. From 2007 onwards Maina Inferiore is home to the Paper Museum, an exhibition space where visitors learn about the centuries-old history art of papermaking in the area of Toscolano Maderno.

Das Tal der Papiermühlen (Valle delle Cartiere, übersetzt Tal der Papierfabriken) liegt bei Toscolano-Maderno am Gardasee. Es ist ein enges Tal und wird vom Toscolano-Bach durchflossen. Bis 1871 führte nur ein Pfad (“Sentiero delle Assi”) durch das Tal; dann begann man den Bau einer Straße.
Geschichte
Die älteste erhaltene Urkunde trägt das Datum 17. Oktober 1381. Bereits damals wurde die Wasserkraft genutzt, um in Papiermühlen Papier aus Lumpen herzustellen. Nach der Erfindung des Buchdrucks stieg die Nachfrage nach Papier. Im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert belieferte man von hier aus Venedig und andere Metropolen mit der damals wertvollen Ware. Später modernisierte man die Fertigung und errichtete Fabriken, deren Ruinen heute noch stehen. In den 1950er Jahren kam der endgültige Niedergang. Gründe hierfür waren die ungünstige Verkehrslage, Veränderungen der Produktionsmethoden und fehlender Platz für Erweiterungen der Anlagen.
Die letzte Papierfabrik schloss 1962. 2002 wurde beschlossen, in der ehemals größten Papierfabrik des Tales („Polo Cartiario di Maina Inferiore“) ein Kulturzentrum mit einem Papiermuseum zu schaffen. Das Gebäude wurde 2005 bis 2007 restauriert.
Das Tal beginnt bei Toscolano-Maderno. Im unteren Teil, nahe dem Museum, liegt ein Parkplatz für PKW. Für Busse ist die Zufahrt ungeeignet. Vom Parkplatz aus erreicht man das Museum in etwa zehn Minuten. Von dort aus führt ein verkehrsfreier Wanderweg weiter ins Tal. Am Wegesrand sieht man mehrere ehemalige Fabriken mit einigen Hinweistafeln über die Besonderheiten. Im Museum gibt auch eine kleine Druckausstellung und antike Bücher.

One more view of The Museum of Papermaking in Duszniki-Zdrój. At front some old machines used for paper making :)
Duszniki-Zdrój is a spa town in the Kłodzko Valley on the Bystrzyca River in Kłodzko County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland. It attracts tourists from around the world. The town's economy is based on tourism, with several hundred thousand people visiting the town and the area every year. In addition, there are several mineral water bottling plants, a traditional paper works and a crystal jewellery producer. Although the area was known for its healthy waters at least since the late Middle Ages, the spa was officially founded in 1769. The natural sparkling waters of Duszniki are used in treatment of a variety of illnesses, including cardiac problems, gastrical problems. The annual International Chopin Festival is held here since 1946. Duszniki Zdrój is also an excellent starting point for trips to Stołowe Mountains, Szczeliniec Wielki, Orlickie Mountains and Bystrzyckie Mountains.
Duszniki-Zdrój most recognizable landmark is the Museum of Papermaking, founded in 1968 in an old 17th century paper mill on the Bystrzyca Dusznicka river. The paper mill is one of the most architecturally valuable industrial monuments in Europe.

Jeszcze jeden rzut oka na budynek Muzeum Papiernictwa w Dusznikach-Zdroju. Przed budynkiem kilka dawnych maszyn do produkcji papieru :)
Duszniki-Zdrój – miasto uzdrowiskowe w województwie dolnośląskim, w powiecie kłodzkim, graniczące z Czechami. Pierwsze wzmianki o samym mieście pochodzą z 1324 r. W 1346 r. Duszniki otrzymały prawa miejskie w wyniku lokacji na prawie niemieckim. Zyski czerpało głównie z handlu i prawa składu towarów przewożonych szlakiem z Czech na Śląsk. Z XV wieku pochodzą pierwsze wzmianki o istnieniu źródła leczniczego „Zimny Zdrój”. Pod koniec XVI wieku gwałtownie rozwijał się dusznicki handel oraz przemysł: tkacki i papierniczy. W 1605 roku wybudowano budynek działającego do dzisiaj młyna papierniczego. W 1748 przeprowadzono pierwsze badania źródeł mineralnych. Od 1769 r. Duszniki stały się oficjalnym uzdrowiskiem poprzez wpisanie „Zimnego Zdroju” na listę źródeł leczniczych ówczesnych Prus. Na początku XIX wieku Duszniki stały się jednym z najznaczniejszych uzdrowisk w regionie. Po II wojnie światowej Duszniki przyznano Polsce. Dotychczasowa ludność miasta została wysiedlona do Niemiec. Ważną atrakcją Dusznik-Zdroju jest odbywający się corocznie z początkiem sierpnia Międzynarodowy Festiwal Chopinowski w Dusznikach-Zdroju. Ponadto Duszniki Zdrój to doskonały punkt wypadowy dla wycieczek w Góry Stołowe, na Szczeliniec Wielki, w Góry Orlickie oraz Góry Bystrzyckie.
Najbardziej charakterystycznym budynkiem w Dusznikach-Zdroju jest Muzeum Papiernictwa – placówka muzealna utworzona w 1968 r. w starym XVII-wiecznym młynie papierniczym nad Bystrzycą Dusznicką. Młyn papierniczy w Dusznikach to zabytek techniki. Elementami charakterystycznymi dla papierni są dach kryty gontem, zakończony od zachodu barokowym szczytem wolutowym oraz oryginalny pawilon wejściowy w kształcie wieży, a we wnętrzach budynku – polichromia z XVII–XIX stulecia.

The quarterly Printing Review, described as the magazine of the British Printing Industry, for Autumn 1933 and that contains a number of bound or tipped in advertising supplements for companies such as this. Advertising their Yorksmill M.G. White Litho paper, the Star Paper Mills Ltd of Barnsley produced a four page folding supplement that as well as having a striking cover, alluding to the County's cricketing prowess, includes a double spread containing a section of a 1932 Southern Railway poster, "Old World Towns", by Leslie Carr.
The advert notes the technical and physical characteristics of the paper for lithographic printing - the process that many such posters were produced by. The Star Paper Mills Ltd may well have put "Yorkshire Paper Mills" of Barnsley in the advert as Star's origins were in the neighbouring county of Lancashire where, in 1875, the Star Mill was founded in the Roddlesworth Valley at Feniscowles. The company, largely in the hands of the founding families, carried on in business and, at one point, possessed the widest paper making machine in the world. By the late 1920s they were in financial difficulties and the Midland Bank effectively foreclosed the business.
At the time the Finnish company, Kymmene, which was the largest producer of paper in the Nordic countries, decided to obtain a manufacturing foothold in the UK to avert possible tariff issues and 1930 they surprisingly bought Star. This was, apparently, the first purchase of an overseas company by a Finnish concern. In 1932 the now Finnish backed Star Paper Mills Ltd made another acquisition when they bought the Barnsley based Yorkshire Paper Mills that was, again, in financial difficulties. The Yorkshire concern had been restructed in 1925, to little avail, and had its origins in the 1860s and the formation of the Valley Paper Mills by the Sheffield company of Marsden's. For many years it traded as the Dearne Paper Mill.
So this very Yorkshire advert has not only links to Barnsley were the paper was produced but also Lancashire and Finland. Despite many vissectitudes during the 1930s both mills survived and in post-war years were important producers of newsprint at Feniscowles and note and printing papers at Barnsley. Kymmene also invested in new US technologies for the company. In 1990 Star was acquired by the South African concern of Sappi and both mills were subsequently closed.
We also got to try a kiddie-style watermark (aka, the kind children do in school). It was much more difficult than I expected.
this is where i spend my weekends... a little paper studio on a farm in indiana. it's wonderful. small. dirty. the cats roam around- occasionally paw printing our paper overnight. the baby chicks in the next room smell... but chirp quite delightfully all day.
(next week we're cooking the cattails, daylilies, kozo, and irises over in the left hand corner :) ! )
heaven.
I recently had an oppertunity to copy this print (© Artist Unknown) showing the "John Dickinson" papermaking factory at Apsley in the mid 1970s. Today this area has changed completely and is now houses and flats and has a hotel built where the white DRG building once stood. However two of the original buildings remain today, the large one to the left and the three sided one in the center and operate as part of the "Apsley Papertrail Project."

Going it at about a 45-degree angle, dip your screen into your pulp, tilting it further as you go, so you're easing the screen into the pulp.
A promotional booklet issued by Reed Paper Group — not dated but probably 1960s. The whole thing is full of wonderful drawings, in the style of a King Penguin.
The screen I'm using is the simplest and cheapest version you can make. Both types of screen can be found at a hardware or feed store.
For a smoother finish, slap your paper up on a piece of glass like a window or sliding glass door. You can also leave it stuck to one 'felt' and clothes-pin it up (by the fabric, so the paper isn't marred), or you can remove the sheet from both 'felts' and let it dry, this will give you a rougher sheet.
Depending where you live, time to dry will vary. Give it overnight and check.
Side-by-side comparisons of drying techniques follow, as do examples of how different writing/drawing implements look on this kind of handmade paper.
The colour of your pulp is always darker than the resulting paper. Using construction paper and coloured paper for your 'dye' will create a wider gap between pulp and paper colour. If you want a bright colour, just really add lots of coloured paper to your pulp.
Once your screen is in the pulp, shake it back and forth just a little, evening and settling the pulp along the screen. Continue rocking/shaking the screen as you pull it up out of the vat. If you screw up, just flip the screen over and tap it against the water in the vat, the pulp will fall off--it prefers the water, slippery stuff.
Time for the poor man's press. On some floor you can clean easy or don't care about, lay down your post and put your board on top.
If you are using a pulse blender, throw your paper in and then blend. Otherwise, turn it on some medium speed and pop your paper through the hole in the lid.
Start tearing up your paper. You could cut it if you want to, or have bad hands, but tearing is quicker overall.
Now you can remove your damp paper, and let it dry in a well-ventilated place, or you can keep it on the felt. Comparisons of drying techniques are here. REMEMBER: always pull from the corners and gently. Hang your 'felts' out to dry, recycle the newspaper.
