Who says we live in a paperless age? Step back in time—and away from the computer—to learn old papermaking techniques using linen and cotton.
Richard Aldorasi, of the Philadelphia Handmade Paper Company, will show visitors how to use authentic handmade laid wire moulds to create their own sheets of linen and cotton rag paper.
Find out the chemistry behind papermaking, why cellulose is so important, and why you’d never want to make papyrus. Learn why your paperback book crumbles within a few years while books printed in the 15th century remain as good as new.
