handmade paper swatch swap winter 2025-2026
for artisans using virgin or rag pulp
what it is
This is a general interest swatch swap in which papermakers the world over submit samples of some of their favorite papers, along with the recipes they used to make them. They cut a few sheets of paper into 2″ x 3″ (5.08 cm x 7.62 cm) swatches, sending up to 3 different samples and their recipes. The samples are collated into sets, and White Leaf Paper designs a book for mounting them which includes the recipes. Participants each receive one set of swatches and a .pdf of the book.
Every participant made a copy of this book from a set of swatches
consisting of one of each swatch submitted by each participant,
and a book file sent to them, designed and produced by Whiteleaf Paper.
