2 HAND PAPERMAKING NEWSLETTER

ALONG THE PAPER ROAD...

This regular feature offers paper musings from

Elaine Koretsky--renowned paper historian,

researcher, and traveler. In this article, Elaine

relates 1993 and 2002 experiences in Burma.

1993 featured an exciting and

exhausting expedition on my paper road.

My husband and I left Boston for China

on October 25, to follow the southern

“Silk Road” through the Gobi and Taklamakan

deserts, searching for vestiges of

hand papermaking that might still

remain. We were rewarded by finding

hand papermaking in the oasis city of

Khotan, in the extreme northwestern

part of China1. Next we flew to Chengdu

in Sichuan Province to visit a group of

papermakers in MaVillage, where we

had filmed their work in 1986. Now we

were into videography, and wanted to

document their papermaking with our

new camcorder. We accomplished this

successfully,2 and on November 19 flew

to Kunming in Yunnan Province, to

start a difficult journey by car along the

old “Burma Road” right into Lashio in

Burma. This turned out to be another

extraordinary adventure, particularly the

part where we were smuggled in and out

of China, but that is a separate chapter on

the paper road.

Right now I shall relate the story of

our final experience in the lengthy 1993

expedition. On December 14 we flew

from China to Chiang Mai in northern

Thailand, where we rented a comfortable

car and proceeded to Mai Sae, at the Thai/

Burmese border. On the way we stopped

to document again the papermakers at

Bon Mai Mok Jam, whom we had visited

in 1991.3 At the Mai Sae border crossing

we checked in with the Burmese

authorities to determine how to travel

up to Keng Tung (also transliterated as

Kyaing Tong or Chiang Tung). Keng Tung

is located in the extreme eastern part of

Burma, close to the borders of both Laos

and China in addition to Thailand. It is

the capital of the eastern Shan State of

Burma, but also called “Capital of the

Golden Triangle,” referring to its central

position in a flourishing opium trade that

extended to its border neighbors.

We received a four-day visa, allowing

one day to drive up to Keng Tung, spend

two full days there, with return on the

fourth day. The authorities provided us

with a vehicle and driver from Mai Sae,

and an English-speaking guide while in

Keng Tung.

I was delighted to finally be allowed

to visit Keng Tung, which was off limits to

foreigners until this year. In 1982, when

I first began investigating the unusual

bamboo paper made in Burma as a substrate

for the beating of gold leaf, I had

learned from Professor U Maung Maung

at Mandalay University that he had seen

goldbeating in Keng Tung some years

previously. At last I had the opportunity

to travel there. The big question would

be how to locate the gold beaters. The

drive from Mai Sae was the norm for me,

namely, traveling on bad roads for seven

hours, a distance of only 163 km., curled

up like a pretzel, in an elderly, cramped

pick-up truck. We passed through incredibly

beautiful forests, terraced farmlands,

and occasionally a village inhabited by

one of the colorful hill-tribes that occupy

this mountainous area.

The next morning when our

young guide Naw Kham appeared, I

immediately told him that I was hoping

to locate gold beaters and papermakers

somewhere in the area. He had no direct

knowledge of this, but we set off to

explore Keng Tung and its environs. We

visited two villages where Akha people

live in simple houses with woven bamboo

sides and thatched roofs. At the first village,

we saw the entire process of indigo

dyeing, including the growing of the

indigofera plants. The second one was

noted for its weaving. It seemed that at

every house a woman was working at a

backstrap loom, and the work produced

was magnificent. I purchased several

skillfully woven bags decorated with

beads and old coins. We spent time at the

marketplace, where we were surrounded

by many different hill tribe peoples of the

area. In addition to the Akha, there are

Shan, Lahu and Wa groups, each with its

own distinctive national dress and elaborate

jewelry. At the market I bought some

handmade paper and our guide learned

that it was made at Kyaing Kong Village.

We drove out there right away and found

a very small papermaking operation.

The fiber used was paper mulberry, and

the sheets formed by pouring the hand

beaten pulp onto moulds floating in a

concrete vat. Nearby was Yun Khong village,

where 70 families made earthenware

pots. We watched the firing of the pots

in an open pit where straw was burned

as fuel, and we visited Wat Jong Kham, a

magnificent pagoda and monastery built

700 years ago. So far, we had found no

evidence of gold beating, but Naw Kham

promised to make more inquiries.

The next morning our guide

appeared with another man, Sae Thip,

whom he introduced as a very knowledgeable

person who might be able to

better help us with our investigations.

Sae Thip was incredible and invaluable.

When we asked about gold beating, he

immediately said that he would take us

to visit one of the old gold beaters. First

we drove to Sae Thip’s home and printing

shop, The Khemerat Press. We met his

elderly father, who had printed the Keng

Tung newspaper until it was banned by

the Burmese military government. His

father had also been a Sawbwa, one of the

rulers when the Shan States had a feudal

system, prior to 1947. Sae Thip showed

us his antique Chinese printing press

and old typefaces. He still maintained

the printing shop, doing general printing

and copy work for the needs of the community.

We returned to the marketplace,

and our new friend showed us where we

could purchase parabeik, which are the

accordion-fold books used for writing

Buddhist scriptures. We learned from the

shopkeeper that his brother was a scribe

who produces the prayer books, and that

the paper for the books was made in Wan

Long Village, about eight miles from

Keng Tung. Now we had an itinerary for

the rest of the day.

We drove to the house of U Lone

Kawn, who graciously welcomed us. He

was a man of 64 years, and had retired

from gold beating 25 years previously.

He told us that he not only beat the gold

for gilding, but also made the type of

paper necessary for the beating. We asked

about his tools, and he proudly brought

out his gold beating hammer. I already

owned a hammer, purchased from one

of the young gold beaters whom I met

in Mandalay. That hammer was a simple

one, albeit it antique, originally used

by the goldbeater’s grandfather many

decades ago. U Lone Kawn’s hammer

was extraordinary, with an ornate head

cast in bronze, and a hand carved wood

handle. I could make out the chisel marks

on the wood, although the wood was

smooth and polished. And he showed us

his packets of burnished paper wrapped

in the leather sheaths that were used in

the goldbeating process. He obviously

treasured the worn leather packets that

symbolized his former livelihood. All the

artifacts were very impressive, and we

asked if he would pose with them for a

photograph. He agreed, and suggested

we go outside where he had a large wood

stump on which he used to beat. Then he

OCTOBER 2004 3

excused himself to go upstairs, reappearing

dressed in traditional Shan clothing

that is rarely seen anymore. Obviously,

he wanted us to photograph him just

as he looked 25 years ago, when he was

performing this work. After the photography,

I asked Sae Thip if it was proper

to inquire if U Lone Kawn would sell the

hammer to me, explaining that it would

be safely kept in my museum, where I

had many Burmese artifacts on display.

Sae Thip assured me that it was all right,

and translated what I had said to U Lone

Kawn. So I purchased the beautiful hammer

and gave assurance that it would be

properly displayed. U Lone Kawn seemed

very pleased and also offered to sell me

a special hammer that he had used to

pound the gold itself into thin ribbons

that he would cut into small pieces for

the goldbeating process. I bought that as

well. In addition, U Lone Lawn presented

me with a sheet of his burnished paper

from one of his precious packets. I would

have happily bought the entire packet,

but I was shy about asking for the last of

his artifacts. However, after we said our

farewells and expressed appreciation for

the interview and photo opportunity, and

were getting back into our pickup truck,

U Lone Kawn remembered one more item

from his past career. It was a buffalo horn

that he had used to burnish his handmade

paper, and he generously gave it to

me as an additional gift. Eleven years had

passed since I had heard about goldbeating

in Keng Tung, and now finally I had

met this kindly man.

Sae Thip took us to other places. We

drove seven miles to Wan Long, a village

of papermaking that was difficult to

reach because we had to cross waterswollen

streams and circumvent many

rice paddies. But our old wheezing pickup

truck managed to get there. We found

five families making paper from paper

mulberry. Their methods were similar to

those of Kyaing Kong, namely, making

sheets of paper by pouring the beaten

pulp onto a mould floating in water. The

papermakers affirmed that their paper

was mainly used for the making of parabeik.

Our next stop was the house where

the parabeik were made. We saw how the

books were produced, and we watched

the scribes at work writing the Buddhist

prayers. The short trip to Keng Tung was

certainly an important one for my documentation

of papermaking in Burma. The

following morning we drove back to the

Mae Sai border, flew on to Bangkok, and

then back home.

I treasured the artifacts I collected

on that brief trip, and hoped that I might

return to this remote part of the country.

Years passed, and I often thought about

U Lone Kawn and Sae Thip. Finally, in

2002 I decided to make another trip to

Keng Tung.

BEGINNER TOPICS

Marilyn Sward is a well-known paper artist,

teacher, and administrator. In this issue, she

discusses flower inclusions.

As I write this the gardens are in

full bloom and when you read it many

gardens will still have flowers. One of

the longest blooming makes one of the

best additives for hand papermaking:

the marigold. The blooms of this hardy

plant yield a wide range of bright yellow

to deep orange petals which hold their

color when added to paper pulp. They

may be pressed in a simple flower press

or allowed to dry on a screen. The seeds

that cling to the petals may be removed

or used (artistic license). Keep in mind

that you may get some bleed in the sheets

from many types of flower petals. Marigold

has little bleed.

Other flowers I have used are

Monarda (bee balm) in a broad range

of colors from blue to bright red, and a

wide variety of straw flowers. The latter I

often pre-boil to hydrate them. This helps

them blend with the pulp and reduces the

chance for bleeding.

You may wish to retain the character

of the whole flower, or perhaps try a fern.

This may be accomplished by pressing

them in a flower press and, when dry,

laying them into the couched sheets.

With this method, the entire flower may

be utilized, or the various dried petals

may be arranged to create unique or

imaginary plants.

I prefer to use abaca pulp for flower

inclusions. It is easy to pulp in a blender

and makes a sheet that responds well to

inclusions and natural plant materials.

For those of you in apartments or without

gardens I suggest watching for municipal

parks and botanical gardens to change

their plantings. They discard many

wonderful materials that can be used

both for inclusions and for pulp. But pulp

from plant is another topic. For now, go

harvest, and enjoy your gardens in paper

all winter long.

TEACHING HAND PAPERMAKING

Based in Philadelphia, Winifred Radolan

operates an itinerant teaching papermill,

and has taught papermaking to thousands

of adults and children. In this issue, Winnie

makes washi windsocks.

When school’s out for summer, “Ms.

Winnie” gets to go to camp and make

paper. For the first time, this past summer

I was invited to be part of the Friends of

the Japanese House and Garden’s Japanese

Cultural Camp. For several years, tops on

my list of annual paper adventures has

been to demonstrate the making of washi

at one of the organization’s festivals.

Shofusu, built in a 16th-century Japanese

style of architecture, was a gift from the

America-Japan Society of Tokyo to our

country in 1958. Located in West Fairmount

Park, Philadelphia, it remains

one of the most beautiful and restful

destinations our city has to offer. A week

of day camp at Shofusu might include

experiences with origami, haiku, Ikebana,

Japanese language and culture, meditation,

and this year--to my great delight--

making washi!

I decided to direct our papermaking

toward the Japanese tradition of flying

carp windsocks to celebrate Boy’s Day,

May 5th. I cut a mylar stencil with outline

marks for eyes, fins, tail, and a few scales

to assist the campers in the basic design of

their fish. Then I prepared a soupy, brushon

batch of black cotton pulp paint to

apply to their washi through the stencil.

And finally, I filled squirt bottles with

brightly colored pulp paint for campers to

use to bring their fish to life.

The twelve campers, who ranged

in age from seven to thirteen years,

learned a little of the history and traditional

methods of Japanese papermaking

as they viewed illustrations of all the

steps. Then, to establish a flow of

activities that kept everyone engaged,

we divided ourselves into groups of

4 HAND PAPERMAKING NEWSLETTER

kozo-beaters, washi-makers, and

pulp-painters. Everyone cycled through

each step. (I arrived with pre-beaten fiber

for the first day and each kozo-beater

group prepared pulp for the following

week’s group.)

To the accompaniment of steady

semi-rhythmic kozo beating, each camper,

with my assistance, formed a sheet of

washi that measured 11x17 inches. The

mylar was laid atop the washi and black

pulp paint was brushed over the stencil to

settle into the openings, marking off eyes,

fins, tail, etc. Then, with a good shake (finger

over the pulp paint bottle opening),

and uttering the mantra “less-is-more,”

everyone began to pulp-paint their carp

into Technicolor life. We pressed all the

papers, and brushed them out on drying

boards. Later in the week the camp staff

assisted the kids in assembling their fishy

creations into 3-D windsocks.

And thanks to the halcyon beauty

of Shofusu and its surrounding gardens,

my long-time karma of seeming to choose

the hottest of July days for washi-day was

BROKEN!

ON-LINE

Pamela S. Wood of Arizona makes one-of-akind

books from her handmade papers. She

explores the internet seeking out notable

paper-related sites. In this issue, Pam explores

a bit of Britain.

Across the Atlantic we go to jolly

ol’ England for a visit to the Griffen Mill

website at <www.griffenmill.com>.

While the site’s design is rather simple,

it is effective. There is something for

everyone and it is easy to explore. Loaded

with history, Griffen Mill’s website offers

subtle and hidden treasures that make

surfing fun. But how can you not have

fun in England, even if this visit is merely

vicarious? Open the home page to view a

papermaker at work over the vat. As you

will see, the mill works today filling orders

of handmade bookbinding and conservation

papers made in the traditional

manner from cotton, linen, and hemp.

Let’s go directly to the most interesting

part of the site: “Griffen Mill Scrapbook.”

Scroll down to the first subheading:

“Common Handmade Papermaking

Terms.” Admittedly, the first term caught

my attention. Did you know that an “ass”

is the curved wooden fitting on the bridge

of the vat? The coucher props the paper

mould against the ass to drain surplus

water from the newly formed sheet. This

list of terms makes a nice reference (for

papermakers or scrabble players) and

many of the terms are illustrated. As

the old adage goes, a picture is worth

a thousand words. Scroll down further

past “What is a Sheet of Paper?” to find a

papermaking recipe from 1918 and paper

mineral additives used in the early 20th

century. Still scrolling down, there is a

good reference book section, including

some seldom-seen British texts. Further

on (keep scrolling!) there are wonderful

images of traditional equipment and

papermakers at work. All good things

must come to an end, but this section of

the website certainly gets my vote for the

longest scroll.

What else does this site offer? Click

on “Book Binding and Restoration” to

see descriptions and swatches of papers

that Griffen Mill produces, some from

very old recipes. Click on “Historic Wall

Paper” to read a fascinating article about

their wallpaper restoration project following

the fire at Uppark House in the south

of England. Click on “Handmade Tissue”

to see the fabulous Griffen watermark

and a full line of repair tissue.

The second-best part of this website

I have left for last. Click on “Griffen Mill

Links and Snippets” and navigate to the

poem titled Wry Look at Papermills and

Their Customers (with Apologies to Lewis

Carroll). Definitely stay to the bitter end,

it is worth it. What a great piece! Here’s a

short excerpt:

“Shrewd Lawyers love within its folds

To practice night and day;

Richer Bankers change it into gold

in a financial way;

Great men of thought and letters on

The milk white surface trace.

Rich jewels and precious gems are bound

within its soft embrace.”

PAPER HISTORY

Peter Hopkins is a media relations consultant

specializing in environmentally responsible

papermaking and the history of papermaking.

In this issue, he offers some eloquent

Calls for Rags.

Throughout the first 175 years of

papermaking in the United States, cotton

and linen rags were the papermakers’ raw

material. From 1690, until the widespread

use of wood fiber in the post-Civil War

era, the demand for rags for papermaking

many times outstripped supply.

Mill owners, newspaper editors,

legislators, and other influential citizens

were constantly appealing to the public

to practice the frugality of saving their

rags, while encouraging the manufacture

of paper. Many of these entreaties were

enthusiastic, to say the least. Following

are some of the more entertaining:

From the Boston News-Letter of 1769:

“Rags are as beauties that concealed lie,

But when as paper, how they charm the

eye;

Pray save your rags, new beauties to

discover,

For paper truly every one’s a lover.

By Pen and Press such knowledge is

displayed

As wouldn’t exist, if Paper was not made.

Wisdom of things, mysterious, divine,

Illustriously doth on Paper shine.”

From the Journals of the Provincial Congress

of Massachusetts, 1774:

“Therefore. Resolved, That it be recommended,

and it is by this Congress

accordingly recommended, to every

family in the province, to preserve all

their linen, and cotton and linen rags, in

order that a manufacture so useful and

advantageous to this country, may be

suitably encouraged; and it is also recommended

to our several towns to take such

further measures for the encouragement

of the manufacture aforesaid, as they

shall think proper.”

From the Massachusetts Spy, 1778:

“It is earnestly requested that the fair

daughters of Liberty in this extensive

country would not neglect to serve their

country by saving, for the Paper Mill at

Sutton, all Linen and Cotton-and-Linen

Rags, be they ever so small, as they are

equally good for the purpose of making

paper as those that are larger. A bag hung

up at one corner of a room would be the

means of saving many which would be

otherwise lost. If the ladies should not

make a fortune by that piece of economy,

they will at least have the satisfaction of

knowing that they are doing an essential

service to the community.”

From papermaker Seth Hawley, 1808:

“If the necessary stock is denied the paper

mills, young maidens much languish in

vain for tender epistles from their respective

swains; bachelors may be reduced

to the necessity of a personal attendance

upon the fair, when a written communicaOCTOBER

2004 5

tion would be an excellent substitute.

For clean cotton and linen rags of every

color and description, matrons can be furnished

with bibles, spectacles and snuff;

mothers with grammars, spelling books

and primers for their children; and young

misses may be supplied with bonnets,

ribbons and ear rings for the decoration

of their persons, by means of which they

may obtain husbands, or by sending them

to the mill, they may receive cash.”

And, finally, from the North Carolina

Gazette, 1777:

“...If a sufficient quantity of rags can be

had, they will be able to supply the state

with all sorts of paper. They therefore

request the favour of the Public, and more

particularly they Mistresses of Families,

and the Ladies in general, whose more

peculiar Province, it is, to have all their

Rags and scraps of Linen of all Sorts; old

Thread Stockings, Thrums from their

Linen Looms and every kind of Linen

is useful. As this Undertaking is Novel,

saving of Rags may perhaps be thought

too trifling, and below the Notice of the

good Matrons of the State; but when they

consider they are aiding and assisting

in a necessary Manufacture, and when

the young Ladies are assured, that by

the sending to the Paper Mill an old

Handkerchief, no longer fit to cover their

snowy Breasts, there is a Possibility of

its returning to them again in the more

pleasing form of a Billet Doux from

their Lovers.”

EXHIBITS & COMPETITIONS

November 1 is the deadline for Hand

Papermaking’s next portfolio featuring

Pulp Painting. This will be the seventh

of the series started in 1994. Within the

broad field of handmade paper art,

pulp painting is an emerging specialty

attracting many artists with backgrounds

in painting, drawing, printmaking, and

other disciplines. To create a pulp painting,

specially prepared pulps are applied

to a freshly made sheet of handmade

paper in a number of ways, sometimes

with the aid of stencils, sometimes

freehand, resulting in a finished sheet of

paper that fully incorporates the image.

The distinction between substrate and

medium does not apply. Consequently,

the jury will select entries that demonstrate

the equal importance of visual

image and well-made paper, and entries

that most successfully combine the two

will be given priority. The edition size

will be 150 plus 2 artist’s proofs. This

juried collection will follow the format of

earlier portfolios: selected pieces will each

be placed in folders and will accompany

a booklet with a commissioned essay and

artists’ statements, all housed in a clothcovered,

drop-spine box. Participating

artists will receive a copy of the portfolio

in exchange for their edition of prints.

Based on previous portfolio sales, this

new edition is expected to be purchased

by major museums and rare book collections,

both private and public. The deadline

for entries is November 1, 2004. The

jury’s selections will be made in January,

2005. Statements will be due in the spring,

editioned prints will be due early summer,

and the completed portfolios will

be available by the end of 2005. For more

details and a full Call for Entries, please

visit <www.handpapermaking.org> or

call (301) 220-2393.

Upcoming exhibitions at the Robert

C. Williams American Museum of
