Welcome to the home of Griffen Mill Handmade Paper on the Net. The Mill specialises in making fine handmade paper from natural fibres such as cotton, linen & hemp. All the papers are made to archival standards & come in subtle tones & a variety of weights. The papers are arranged in five groups.
Griffen Mill Bookbinding & Paper Conservation Paper Catalogue
A range of papers specifically designed to meet the challenges in paper conservation, book binding & book restoration.
Papers for Restoration & Historical Re-enactments
In this catalogue you will find a great choice of antique toned papers for recreating old maps,scrolls & documents as well as papers to replace the original handmade paper lining or label when restoring antique musical instruments or furniture.
Because nearly all our papers are made to conserve & restore original artefacts they resemble the original handmade papers very closely.
Griffen Mill papers within the Restoration Catalogue offer a choice of weights, character & thickness and are archival in nature. Check out our brief Guide to Paper through the ages & our recommendations for which papers to use.
Historic Wallpaper Conservation Page
The conservation & repair of historic handmade wallpaper can require a handmade paper that is unique to a particular location. During the last fifteen years Griffen Mill has worked with a number of wallpaper conservators to make handmade wallpaper which take into account unique project requirements.
These papers are based on original papermaking recipes from the period 1750 – 1820 - the time of the Golden Age of Watercolour . The Griffen Mill handmade,gelatine sized, watercolour drawing papers are as versatile & artist friendly as those made 200 years ago. One could say using these papers is a revelation.
