🐫 The ancient Silk Road overimposed on a modern map.
Spanning roughly 4,000 miles between Chang’an (modern Xi’an) and Antioch from around 130 BCE to 1453 CE, the Silk Road not only traded silk and spices but also transmitted papermaking, chess, and even the bubonic plague across Eurasia.

In much lighter news: our daughter has picked up papermaking as a new hobby, and honestly? I had no idea people just… made paper for fun.

She now turns every scrap of junk mail into journal pages.

She’s a cool kid. ✨
A small stack of handmade paper sheets lies on top of a colorful duvet cover. The paper is light brown with rough, uneven edges and visible flecks and fibers, showing its recycled, hand-crafted texture.

🌳 Papermaking spread across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe over the span of centuries afterwards, and wood played a huge role in the papermaking process, even before it was a staple component in production! But wood even influenced the word itself!

I have been informed that "Oxford University Press has collapsed" so they will not upload this article I wrote with Orietta Da Rold anytime soon. But it is #OpenAccess, and you can download it here: www.academia.edu/128042195/Fo... #medieval #earlymodern
Screenshot of the first page of a research article, reading: Following the Mediterranean Paper Trail: A Study of European Paper in Late Medieval Cairo (c. 1350–1600) by NICK POSEGAY AND ORIETTA DA ROLD Ais well known, papermaking technology first spread from China and Central Asia into the Middle East during the eighth century CE. In subsequent centuries, it moved across Islamicate lands and entered western Europe via Spain. By 1300, Italian papermakers had devised a new method of laid-paper production using metallic wire moulds. This technique allowed the introduction of watermarks to Italian paper, distinguishing it from the non-watermark paper still widespread in the Middle East and North Africa. It is also well known that watermark paper began to reach Middle Eastern markets from Europe during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, eventually supplanting other paper in the region. Many paper manuscripts produced in this period are extant from Middle Eastern communities, and...

I went to an art school but for writing. I took one fine art class, papermaking. I made a piece where I enclosed a cotton mold of a budai in a sheet of Japanese kozo. Prof asks me to explain. I had some ideas about religious coopting in the west. Prof says “I don’t get that from this.” I’m still mad

Sucks that people have been made to feel like art is a puzzle they aren't smart enough to appreciate. When you go to a gallery the only questions that really matter are what does it make you think of and how does it make you feel

Finally planning to get back in the studio this week, but wanted to take care of cutting down some old cotton sheets my Mom had brought down for me.

Enjoyed visiting the University of Georgia Coastal Botanical Gardens and doing a papermaking workshop. We even made some paper from bamboo pulp.

It turns out my home firing and papermaking experiments, done completely independently of each other, have been good preparation for working in paperclay.

You know something is seriously wrong with this country when I’m considering taking a papermaking class not only for ‘fun’ and for learning more sustainable skills for my business, but also just in case I run out of fucking toilet paper and can’t afford to buy more.
