Handmade Paper Craft Products
The production process of
a hand made paper starts from cooking the dried bark of "Lokta" or Daphne Papyracea with ash or caustic
soda solution. The soften bark received after boiling is
taken out and washed with clean water to remove impurities
and then cut into small pieces with sickle.
The small pieces of bark
once again cooked with the required proportion of water.
After cooking, the soft bark is cleaned with water then
kept on a plane and flat stone for beating with wooden hammer
to turn into fine pulp. After beating the pulp is mixed
with required amount of water and stirred with wooden ladle
to form a homogenous emulsion of pulp. Then the potful of
pulp-measuring tool is put into the frame which is being
floated in the pond. As soon as the pulp is put over the
frame, the frame is gently shaken to spread pulp evently
over the frame. The frame is then taken out from the pond
and the frame with the layer of the pulp (wet sheet of paper)
is taken away for drying in the sunlight.
The layer of pulp which
becomes a sheet of paper in the frame after drying is peeled
slowly from the frame.
