Who are we?
We are a group of common people, working at least 5 days a week in an office, but who decided to do something different. We “discovered” making paper by hand. With few tools, we started experimenting. Further to creating paper, we went on “decorating” the paper and binding books. We want now to go further, and create a … paper mill! Here, near Bucharest, Romania, more exactly in Comana.
This site is telling (mostly in Romanian, though) the story of the XXI century paper mill.
Why the paper mill?
Why “mill”? Because this is how was called the place where paper was made in ancient times. Why “paper”? Because we want to “play” with paper: make paper, draw and paint on it, print on it, bind books and many other.
We want the mill to be a magical place, where those interested can forget about work and create wonderful objects, of, on and from paper.
Where we are now?
On August 6, 2011, we just launched our workshop in Comana – a Workshop – Museum, hosting our papermaking equipment, as well as our historic printing and bookbinding equipment.
