Every year since 1986, we have published two biannual issues of Hand Papermaking magazine, resulting in a unique 35-year repository of information and inspiration on the art and craft of hand papermaking. Each issue features articles on a variety of topics within the field, including contemporary artistic approaches, craft techniques, historical topics, international developments, and educational initiatives. Articles are written by experts in the field and by notable practitioners who offer fresh and diverse perspectives. Each magazine includes at least one unique sample of handmade paper tipped into its pages.
This special issue — our 40th-anniversary issue — explores the history and contemporary practice of making and using blue handmade paper, featuring artists, papermakers, writers, and researchers whose work celebrates the depth, beauty, and material richness of blue.
