Dieu Donné is a leading non-profit cultural institution dedicated to serving established and emerging artists through the collaborative creation of contemporary art using the process of hand papermaking.
Dieu Donné was founded in 1976 by Susan Gosin and Bruce Wineberg to explore the untapped potential of hand papermaking as an art medium. We introduce artists from a wide variety of practices to the creative possibilities in hand papermaking, fostering experimentation and creating innovative works of art. Our work is realized through extensive collaborations with artists. We strive to teach a new visual language, providing a transformative experience that often leads to artistic breakthroughs. We share this work with the community through our gallery, public and educational programs.

Hi everyone, this is Takao Moriki of Moriki Paper. Thank you very much for watching! I would like to provide a bit better answers to those questions read by Willa in the last 15 minutes.... Q: There are plantation in Thailand and Philippines of Japanese kozo. Have you seen or bought any washi made from them? If it is what do you think of its quality as compared to Japanese kozo grown in Japan? A. From what I have heard, in the past, someone brought the young plant of Japanese native kozo into Thailand or Laos and tried to grow it there locally, but after some years (I am not 100% sure, but probably 4-5 years) the quality of kozo has become close to the native "Thai Kozo". So it's considered that the climate and soil have a lot to do with composing the fibre. Q. How is it that the formed sheets do not stick to each other when placed one on top of other for couching and pressing? A. The upper and lower papers are in a tomographic state without the fibers being entangled with each other, and they do not stick to each other and can be easily peeled off one by one. It is also the effect of "Neri" i.e. Tororoaoi to make it easier to peel off. Q. Is there a website someone can read all this information on and order papers? A. We will upload the information to our website as soon as possible and make an announcement on SNS when it's done. Q. About Pro. Timothy Barrett & his books A. You can find basic information about him at UICB (University of Iowa Center for the Book) book.grad.uiowa.edu/people/timothy-barrett "Nagashizuki (1979)" + "Japanese Papermaking" (1984/2006)
You can use shop towels that you can find at a Walmart or an automobile shop. She's using an expensive Tyvek, cotton blend paper to hold and dry the paper.
I am curious about the paper weight, and how paper thickness is controlled. What if someone wants thin paper? How one regulates how much pulp (which floats freely in the water) is caught on top of the paper mould? Does pressing of the paper, (before it is dry), makes it thinner?
Amy, today I recieved a beautiful gift from your aunt (SG) a small brown stiched sketch book. She also sent me your card, and I watched your video. AWESOME !! I love it and will treasure it for year's to come !!
This is the best method ive seen. Im starting to make my own recycled paper for my college notes so i dont waste trees by buying new paper every semester. I can just recycle my own and its much less wasteful and cost efficient
is this the most efficient way to recycle paper at home? I can't shake off the feeling that you are wasting lots of resources (water, all the towels, time, etc) to make a single sheet of recycled paper. its probably easier to buy a pack of paper and send all the scrap paper to your local recycler.
water everporated out. using sun. so if really wanted you take dirt rainbow water from sweeper use utub water evaporating and catching method drink dirt water as clean water. it more about do something other cain't. i took log of fire wood. chained saw boardedes out. planed borders really thin. took shaves and mad paper from wood shaves. took wood mad cover and mad a book on how do wood working out peace of fire wood.
how long it will take to dry a single paper? I notice that in the video, the wet recycled paper was pink but when it dries it turn out to be something white.
Ubaidillah Alimpang the dry time is approximately 1 to 2 days (sometimes it depends on the size of the paper) using colored paper for recycling really does fade its color so it's better to use ink colored paper like paper crepes. Hope this information helps.
I would guess that you could get them from a craft store or other shop that sells fabric. It looks like something that my dad, whom is an upholsterer, uses in making skirts for furniture. You might also be able to try using a filter, also. It seems to be about the same thickness and such as an oil filter that you would use in a kitchen for filtering fryers. Haven't tried it myself, but I'm just guessing lol.
