With skilled hands and attention to detail, artisans combine ancient methods and contemporary practices to create beautiful, versatile, and eco-friendly paper. First, the kozo plant, also known as the paper mulberry tree, is harvested and the bark is peeled off the branches. The bark is then air-dried and sorted by age and quality. Afterwards, the strips of kozo bark are washed and soaked overnight to soften the fibres before being cooked, resulting in soft yet durable fibres. If needed, the fibres can be bleached. Once cooked, the tissue is meticulously inspected and any impurities or fibre knots are carefully removed by hand. Lastly, the kozo tissues are beaten into a fine pulp, ready for creating exquisite kozo papers.
Sisal paper is created by blending kozo pulp with natural hemp fibre, resulting in a lightweight and pliable sheet. Its simplistic yet elegant design, enhanced by the shiny sisal strands, makes it ideal for a range of applications such as book binding, printmaking, card making, window covering, light covering and social stationery.
