How One Town Keeps India's 500-year-old Papermaking Industry Alive | Still Standing

Paper factories in Sanganer, India still produce each sheet one by one. The industry has withstood colonization and foreign competition since papermaking communities first arrived in India around the 16th century. We went inside Kalpana Handmade Paper Industries to see how the craft is still standing.

Because the paper it’s super resistant and you don’t have to worry about overworking it . Also after it’s done it looks good just by himself . Not need of expensive frame if you don’t want it .

    For me, it's half-half. Drawing on paper has a different feel to drawing on a tablet, but they both feel good. And the feeling differs from medium to medium and tool to tool. For paper, are you using high grade professional paper or cheap copy paper? Are you using a good quality pencil or something out of a dollar store? Same with digital. Are you using a drawing tablet or just a regular iPad? Are you using a stylus, your fingers, or a mouse? All sorts of factors come into play.

    Back when I was 13, we had to choose a science project based on some kind of manufacturing process and present your findings to the class. I chose paper making. Learning about the pulp, aligning the strands with a home made tool (nails in a piece of plywood) and the different additives to strengthen or clean the pulp. I learnt a lot and people enjoyed feeling the paper samples I had made. It's no easy task.
