MOULDS AND DECKLES

I am pleased to offer handcrafted Paperwright moulds and deckles! Handcrafted Paperwright moulds are rabbet joined, routed and finely sanded for rounded edges, triple coated with urethane, and screened with heat shrinking polypropylene mesh. Stainless steel staples and screws and epoxy secure the mesh and corners to make a durable and dependable mould. Flush deckles simply sit on top of the mould. Form fitting deckles are routed to slip securely onto the mould and to form a small inner lip that presses onto the screen to prevent pulp leakage.

The newest mould is called a floating mould. It is designed so you can place the mould into a shallow vat, and then float pulp, pulp paints, and other materials into place before pulling the sheet of paper. Great for artwork inclusions and a totally different look.

PRICES SHOWN ARE IN CANADIAN DOLLARS AND INCLUDE BOTH THE MOULD AND DECKLE. PLEASE EMAIL AND I WILL BE PLEASED TO SEND US DOLLAR QUOTES. BECAUSE OF THE EXCHANGE RATE IT IS A GOOD TIME TO BUY.

Papermakers often complain that bubbles form while couching papers. Screening for moulds below is braced with a plastic eggcrate support to prevent bubbles. Double screening prevents watermarking from undersupport.Permanent aluminum rod bracing makes these moulds a durable addition to your studio.
