Paper made by hand using a mould (a frame covered with a flat, rigid screen or flexible screen). The mould is covered by a flat frame called a deckle, to contain the run-off of wet pulp, dipped into a vat of wet pulp, shaken to distribute the fibres evenly and drained of its excess water. The wet mat of fibres remaining in the newly formed sheet is then dried against blankets & may be hot pressed, cold pressed, or air dried.
