Taller de Lenateros

I have a love for paper.  I like paper making, handmade papers, paper from different parts of the world, different types of paper . . . . In short, I should not be left unattended in a paper shop.  So it was a real treat to visit Taller de Lenateros in San Cristobal. 

Taller de Lenateros is a workshop begun in 1975, where artisans use local materials to make paper.  The paper is printed, made into books or molded.  This short YouTube video gives you a glimps of the artisans at work.



I spent less than half of my birthday money and it was well spent. 

I look forward to using these Chiapaneco papers!
