Watch our short video about Papyrus and how it's crafted!


The following pictures are showing the steps of crafting papyrus paper:


1.
The papyrus plant grows in the Nile's
fresh water. It has long roots and stems.


2. The outer bark of stem is removed and the inner pith is sliced into thin strips. They are then subsequently hammered to break the fibres and drain the water.

3.
The strips are placed in two layers, horizontal and vertical . The papyrus sheets are pressed together for 3 days until they become dry.

4.
Finally the papyrus is hand painted by professional artists. the mediums used are inks, oils and gouache.



Papyrus

Discovered over 5000 years ago by the Ancient Egyptians; the papyrus plant proved to be one of their most useful discoveries ever. Found on the banks in the famous River Nile Valley, the plant's stem was stripped and pressed to form one of the earliest and longest lasting forms of "Paper".

Today, Egyptian craftspeople follow in the path of their Ancient ancestors, following every procedure, step by step, to give you the same writing surface used by the Royal Pharaohs over 5000 years ago.
