Handmade Paper Making Process

 

Paper Making

 

The process began by reducing cotton waste to pulp. the pulp is diluted with water and put into a masonry. The lifting mould (mesh on a wooden frame) is then dipped into the trough, shaken evenly and lifted out with the pulp on it. The consistency of the pulp in the tank should be kept constant.   

 


Rose Plucking

Roses are selected and plucked, Flower petals were added to the pulp which is then transferred to large tanks. workers submerged a rectangular tray of fine mesh into the water. Taking pulp from the tank, and emptied it into the tray.

   

 

           
Pressing

After inverting the tray and the muslin, the sheet of pulp now on top was added to a pile. The pile was then pressed to drive out most of the water. Pressing reduces the bulkiness of the paper i.e. the sheets become more compact.

 

Separation

Small dirt particles are removed manually with a sharp instrument. The cleaned sheets are given a coating with starch to improve the physical properties of the paper and prevent feathering. This is called sizing and can be done manually with a brush or by the dipping method.

 

Natural Drying

After Separation the resulting sheets were peeled off the muslin. As between 50 and 65% of moisture remains in the sheets. The sheets are dried by hanging them in open areas of sunlight to remove the rest of the moisture.
                           

 

Calendaring

 Then Dried Paper is passed through a series of metal rolls at the end of a paper machine; when the paper is passed between these rolls it increases its smoothness and glossy surface.

History

Janab Allah Bax [1881-1976]

Alegendry figure in traditional handmade paper making who saved this art in Rajasthan from total wash out.

He met Mahatma Gandhi in 1937 and sought his support for survival of his traditional craft.


Mahatma was a great protagonist of traditional craft and village industries. At the instance of Mahatma Gandi he demonstrated the art of paper making at Haripura congress in 1938.

 

Roots, Origin and Present

 

The history of their Khanzad - clan of kagzi (traditional paper makers) dates back of the 14 century during the reign of Feroz Shah Barbak (1336 AD) at Tizara in Alwar district of Rajasthan - India. Khanzadas were a significant force at the time of Syed dynasty of Delhi Sultanate. The Handmade Paper, particularly white, made by their forefathers was famous at that time. It was mostly used by royalties for official documents, miniature paintings. calligraphy, copying of religious books, specially Quaran-e-Pak and for account books of traders.

They were brought to Amer by Mirza Man Singh a great connoisseur of art, craft and litreture some time by the end of 16th century. The then ruler of Amer and the chief of the army of Akbar the Great. They were settled first at Brahampuri near Amer. This place is still known as Kagzi wada (dwelling of kagzis). There was an acute shortage of water at Brahampuri. They were therefore shifted to Sanganer situated on the bank of the river Saraswati, just before the foundation of Jaipur City (1727). When the Mirza Man singh was governor of Punjab and posted at Sial- kot, a prominent paper producing center in india, a special paper was developed and given name Man singh-Sahi to honor him.


Sanganer emerged as one of the biggest paper making center in western India. Humming with rhythm of the sound of stamper and other paper making activities, this paper village excelled in developing its own variety of papers with special characteristics. They were named according to their properties such as Ishwar Sahi, Do Rohi etc. for different usage.
