Oblation Handmade Paper

 

handmade papers

We produce 100% recycled cotton sheets of paper by hand at our urban paper mill in Portland, Oregon. Soft deckled edges are formed as each sheet is drawn from a vat of water and pulp. Due to the natural, handmade quality, paper may vary slightly in thickness, color, and texture.  Our paper is strong, acid-free and produced with remnants from the garment industry.

Deckled, cut edges, or rounded corners can be substituted on most designs (may affect pricing).

  • Available in white, cream, blush, stone, denim, charcoal, wildflower seed, floral, and fern

  • Soft deckled edges are formed on this paper
