Parwana Handmade Paper

Parwana Handmade Paper Ethical Eco-Friendly Handmade Paper & Stationery - Consciously created -Sustainably produced Instead each piece of paper is individually made by hand.

PARWANApaper is a small family run business providing environmentally and socially conscious alternative business solutions in Pakistan. Through the PARWANA initiative, we are striving to bring together the best papermakers (or ‘kagzis’ as they are known) in the Old City of Lahore, the cultural, intellectual and artistic hub of Pakistan, forging partnerships with these local artisans to revive the

dying handmade paper craft, and restoring the livelihoods of artisans who are giving up a skill handed down to them through generations to pursue other promising modes of employment. We work with the artisans involved in the art of papermaking, bookbinding and block printing, providing them with financial, technical and design support to develop contemporary artefacts, and help them find new markets locally, and now through our foray in Canada - internationally. PARWANA paper products are hand crafted, using cotton and silk textile remnants and plant fibers. Ours is not mass produced watercolour stock, which is manufactured on hand operated high-speed machines. Our paper is environmentally sound, processed and handmade on wooden deckles. Produced in beautiful, rich colours, hand finished with lovely designs and textures, and block printed by hand, our paper is available in a variety of thicknesses. It is perfect for letterpress and appropriate for almost any use including pen and ink, drawing with coloured or graphite pencil, or light washes of watercolours. The lower grammage paper will print in the top feed area of an ink jet printer. However, trying out a sample first is recommended. For queries & custom orders, please write to [email protected]

PARWANA Studio is a collaborative space where creativity meets craftsmanship.

We invite artists, designers, calligraphers, and makers of all kinds to explore the possibilities of our handmade paper: not just as a surface, but as a medium with its own texture, story, and soul.

​

Every residency at PARWANA Studio is a dialogue: between artist and material, tradition and innovation, form and feeling. Finished works are often showcased in our exhibitions or shared through our Artist Spotlight series, connecting the creative process with our wider community.

We welcome those who work with intention, curiosity, and care and who believe that the handmade has something vital to say.​
