SKU# 6604520

Thoughtful owl in a tree graces the cover of this decorative photo album. With patterned cover and red binding. This handmade paper product is made by artisans of Shuktara Handmade Paper. Shuktara is a workshop of Prokritee, a handicraft organization in Bangladesh that provides training and other benefits to rural women to produce paper, baskets and other items.

Artisans use jute—the “golden fiber” of Bangladesh—to produce this paper. After soaking and pounding the fiber to make a pulpy mass, artisans add it to water and stir until it is uniformly smooth. Each large sheet of paper is made individually by lifting the pulp in a thin layer on a framed screen. The paper is placed in the sun to dry, after which it is ready for use in products such as this.
  • Silk-screened handmade paper
