Nearly all of the papers from Nepal which we use and sell, are made from the bark of a special mulberry bush. the branches of the bush are being harvested and the bark is peeled of these branches. Within the coming 5-7 years the bush will regrow the branches. The bark is then beaten and cooked until it becomes smooth. After the cooking process the bark is again beaten and nowadays by machine mixed into small pieces – called pulp. This pulp will then be “dissolved“ in a large water tank into which the screen for the sheet is placed – by moving the screen in the water tank the pulp is spread evenly throughout the screen. The screen is slowly removed from the water – the sheet is ready – it will be dried by having the screen exposed to sun light – either in vertical shape – or traditionally in an angle. These things are mostly done in remote villages where the lokta grows and then the plain paper sheets are being transported to Kathmandu, were most of our producers have their companies and where the products are being made.
