Leslie is at a Technology Centre in W.Australia demonstrating his research in a new method of creating an environmentally friendly handmade paper that is both smooth and textured.

Leslie would like to help developing countries use this new technology to help empower local community groups to make a high quality paper, calligraphy paper, art paper; printers paper that can be value added into cards, certificates, gift sets, books, diaries, wedding invitations, business cards, name cards and stationery lines.

An A3plus is made for Art Paper and then cut into smaller sizes for printing: (A3plus=(35x45cm); A3=(30x40cm); A4= (20x30cm); A5=(10x15cm); and envelopes diecut; or to your order).

 

From:

reuse of waste paper, lint, cotton or bark

& adding flowers from your garden

& reuse of existing paper colours and chemicals;

& reusing water many times in production;

& wood and solar heating of water;

& solar energy in drying;

& composting waste pulp and effluent;

& die-cutting shapes

& printing using modern colour phaser printers/ photocopiers / calligraphy;

& encouraging skilled people to rediscover a craftsmanship in holistic papermaking.
