Come on a journey into Korean Hanji paper making, part of ongoing conservation research into oriental papers. This process is explained by master paper maker Jang Seong Woo to V&A paper conservator Susan Catcher, from the choosing of the raw material, to the cooking, cleaning and pulping that enables a paper sheet to be cast using a bamboo frame or bal. The beauty of the final hanji paper after drying on a heated wall and burnishing is seen in the stacked sheets, some of which returned to the Museum’s paper conservation studio.
