#HowWeMakePaper
There are three main production processes to create paper in Fabriano: Hand made, Fourdrinier and Mould Made. This video is dedicated to the HAND MADE production, you will discover all the phases and the main characteristics of this type of production of ancient tradition.
Mastri Cartai immerse, with very delicate hand movements, the wire screen into the tub and extract the same quantity of pulp every time on the whole surface of the wire screen. Then as soon as the sheet of paper is formed, the Mastro passes the form to the coucher, after which water is drained off for a moment, rests the form on a woollen felt causing the detachment of the sheet from the wire screen. One sheet and one felt, one on top of the other, forming a stack that is then placed under a hydraulic press: producing the first dehydration of the paper sheets. This particular operation reduces about 50% of water and allows the separation of the sheets from the felt, which are afterwards hung in large rooms where the air circulation and room temperature complete the drying process. The sizing operation follows the drying process: the dried paper sheets are then immersed in an animal sizing gelatine to ensures preservation.
Fabriano is one of the very few cities in the world where paper is still made by hand, testimony of the strength and value of a tradition that is centuries old.
