Handmade by Andrea Peterson, these 100% cotton rag papers are patterned using her unique ‘spray pulp’ method. These papers begin with a freshly pulled sheet of black pulp. Once couched, the sheet is textured and then sprayed with a fine mist of white pulp before being pressed and dried. The resulting papers are full of dimension and consistently stunning, though no two are exactly alike.
