Awagami BAMBOO PRINTMAKING PAPE-Rice Paper : 22" x 30"

AWAGAMI BAMBOO PRINTMAKING PAPER. Containing 70% bamboo fiber and 30% recycled washi paper, Awagami Bamboo Paper is among the most eco-friendly papers available to printmakers today. The fastest growing timber plant on earth, bamboo has many environment benefits over traditional cotton- and wood-based papers. Bamboo does not require fertilizers or pesticides as cotton does, and it requires a fraction of the water needed to grow cotton. Additionally, bamboo produces 35% more oxygen and consumes four times as much CO2 as trees. In addition to its many eco-friendly attributes, Awagami Bamboo Paper has a luxurious texture similar to silk, making it an excellent choice for today?s discerning and environmentally-aware letterpress and printmaking artist.
