Khadi: Handcrafted Papers from India

Khadi Papers are renowned for their handcrafted quality and unique textures, offering artists a natural surface that enhances the beauty of a wide variety of artists' mediums.

Made in India using traditional methods, Khadi papers are produced from 100% cotton rag, giving them a durability and texture that is distinctively different from machine-made papers. The use of cotton rag not only ensures a strong and resilient surface, but also provides a tactile feel that brings a special character to every artwork.

Khadi's range includes papers suitable for watercolour, printmaking, and mixed media. Each sheet is made by skilled artisans who carefully control the production process, from pulping the cotton rags to forming and drying the sheets.

This meticulous craftsmanship results in papers that have a unique texture, weight, and absorbency, providing artists with a responsive surface that works with a variety of techniques.

Many artists are drawn to Khadi Papers for their natural deckle edges and rich texture, which add an organic element to their work. The paper’s excellent absorbency and durability make it ideal for watercolour, ink, and drawing, allowing for both bold and subtle effects.

By combining traditional papermaking methods with respect for natural materials, Khadi offers artists a range of papers that celebrate the beauty of handmade craftsmanship.
