Two Rivers specialise in the centuries-old tradition of making handmade rag paper. We visited their water-powered mill, located among the rolling hills of West Somerset, to see how they make their paper, and find out what sets handmade rag paper apart from machine-made papers.

Very interesting and also encouraging that there still are quality handmade paper done . But I find this video a bit misleading as I found out from the companys website they have now moved their paper making to a modern looking industry building. Of course it does not change any of the qualities of the paper and, I am sure, makes for more comfortable working conditions but I feel oddly cheated of the ” romance” of buying paper made in an old mill taking its power from a hundreds of years old technology, the water wheel. So now, what is the difference in buying this paper than paper from let’s say Fabriano or Arches? I suppose one can say ” hand made” is a factor, but I would also say today ” the story” , in this case a lovely old mill building and centuries old technology, is a big pull factor for the costumer, as it would have been for me. As I said, I am sure the quality is still as good as ever, but for me, some of the” feel good factor” is gone. I suggest, for the sake of honesty, you add a comment that the production, still made by hand, is now taken into a modern factory building.

Thank you for showing this.....a regular customer.....
I love watching artisans. Best video's are of people making art materials.
I'd love to go and visit the mill
The video was too short, I wanted more. Thank you, but more please.
A great paper. I wish people who complain about the price could see how labour intensive the process is.
Thank you. I have set watching this as a mindfulness task for all my year 7 and 8 art pupils

This was so interesting to watch. A lot of work going’s into handmade paper.
Amazing, thanks for sharing! My family history has strong links to paper making back in England.
Bliss. That could easily last an hour. Slow TV!

There's a blurb about this in the description of the video.
