Quarter Imperial Packs ~ Cotton and Linen Rag Handmade Paper
These are the smallest sheets in our standard range, the perfect size for studio painting or on location.
They look fantastic when float mounted to show off the four natural deckle edges.
Available in packs of 8 sheets, 15 x 11″:
140lb / 310gsm
200lb / 410gsm
300lb / 630gsm
All three weights are made from the same cotton and linen blend and are suitable for watercolour, acrylics, oils, pastels, mixed media, and printmaking. The inclusion of linen creates a tough surface that can be reworked without breaking down. Tub-sizing allows paint and pigments to dry to a sharp, bright finish.
Tub-sized with four natural deckle edges.
The sheet texture increases with weight; 140lb (300gsm) has a smoother surface texture than the 300lb (630gsm).
Sent flat in protective recycled board.
Handmade in Somerset.
FREE UK POSTAGE
Price range: £36.00 through £42.50
Questions about our Paper?
All our products are handmade by skilled craftspeople using traditional methods. Each sheet is created from a blend of cotton and linen that has been broken down into individual fibres using the mill’s Hollander beaters.
The gentle air-drying process and gelatine sizing enhance the paper’s strength. Our sizing method allows artists to easily manipulate paint on the surface, or even to remove it. The paint does not absorb into the paper, allowing the pigment to dry to a sharp, brilliant finish. The entire making process, from start to finish, takes 3 to 4 working days.

Stunningly good paper! Worth every penny.

This is fantastic paper, the best I have ever used. I do think my watercolour painting has vastly improved since changing to this paper. It is perfect for painting various subjects, my favourite is painting buildings and gives wonderful texture. I am on my third batch and will not be using any other product in the future. Easy to order and delivered very fast.

I have purchased several boxes of different weight paper from your shop. I especially love the 300 lb paper. It’s a pleasure to paint with this paper. If there’s a better paper on the market, I haven’t found it.

I discovered your 200 lb paper at a Patchings festival and have been using nothing else for a while. I believe my watercolour paintings have improved greatly as a result, judging by the compliments I receive.
