The Joy's of Papermaking.....who knew?

The science of making paper dates back to the 2nd centery BC. Papermaking is considered one of the Four Great Inventions of Ancient China. The science of papermaking is not only one of the greatest inventions known to man, it is in my opionion one of the most beautiful artforms.

In Taiwan we had the opportunity to visit the Pi-Li Paper Plant. There we were given a tour of the factory and a short history of the art of papermaking. Later, We created our own paper through the thousand year old process. The process wasn't as difficult as I would have expected, but it is nothing short of genious to create something so benficial to man.





Its safe to say that we really enjoyed our time and the people here at Pi-Li. Very greatful for the memories and opportunity.
