Ep 11: Kwong Hing Paper Mill in Nantou

Picture
Ever wondered how paper was made? In this episode, Joanne-Marie experiences first hand the process of making paper and eventually a paper fan, as part of the tour and DIY at Kwong Hing Paper Mill in Puli, Nantou.

Upon arriving at the Paper Mill we were given a tour of the facilities including understanding the history of the place. The unique climate and exceptional water quality at Puli makes it an idea location for the manufacture of paper. While the tour gave us a good understanding of how paper is made, nothing beats getting down to it to make our own paper crafts in a DIY-project.

Step 1:
Mix the pulp and place it on a sifter:
