About this paper

Made at the request of the calligraphers who visit us. Every page is stone-polished so the qalam glides and the ink sits crisply on the surface, then the book is sewn along a single fold with indigo-dyed thread. The proportions follow the traditional page used for practice sheets, a little taller than A5.

The details

  • Every page stone-polished
  • Single-section binding with indigo thread
  • Takes iron gall, sumi and carbon inks
  • Pages can be removed cleanly
