RENAISSANCE OF PAPERMAKING

PIEDMONT, CA

The Renaissance of Papermaking in Piedmont, CA is a community-driven initiative that aims to revive the art of handmade paper production. The project was launched in 2018 by a group of local artists and paper enthusiasts who recognized the need to preserve this centuries-old craft.

The Renaissance of Papermaking offers workshops and classes on papermaking techniques and provides access to the necessary tools and equipment for the community. The project also collaborates with local businesses and organizations to source materials and promote environmental sustainability.

The initiative has gained significant support from the community, with volunteers and donors contributing to the establishment of a community paper mill. The mill is equipped with a Hollander beater, a machine used for the mechanical processing of pulp, and can produce different types of paper, including cotton, abaca, and recycled fibers.

The Renaissance of Papermaking has not only revived the art of papermaking in Piedmont but also promotes the value of handmade paper as a sustainable alternative to mass-produced paper. The initiative has also created a sense of community and collaboration among the participants and has become a source of inspiration for other similar projects around the world.
