Papermaking Workshop

flattening the paper

You transfer the drained pulp from deckel to towel, then cover with some type of cloth (linen, silk, burlap---it gives the finish texture to the paper). Then flip over and place another cloth on the other side. Iron on both sides for several minutes until your paper is dry. Then you have to press it under something heavy for a couple hours (or overnight) to make sure it stays flat.
