Khadi Handmade Paper

Khadi Paper — Handmade 100% Cotton Rag Paper from India

Khadi papers are among the most extraordinary papers available to artists. Handmade in India from 100% cotton rag, they possess a natural beauty, exceptional strength, and a tactile quality that machine-made papers simply cannot replicate. It is the long fibre length of the cotton raw material that gives Khadi its remarkable durability and character — a paper that improves with age rather than deteriorating.

Khadi papers are the only handmade papers in India made with a neutral pH size, making them fully acid-free and suitable for archival work.

• 100% cotton rag — exceptional strength, durability, and a luxurious feel
• Acid-free & archival — the only Indian handmade paper with neutral pH size
• Ideal for watercolour — the absorbent surface holds washes beautifully with minimal buckling
• Perfect for mixed media — handles ink, gouache, acrylic, and collage with ease
• Unique surface character — each sheet is individual, with the natural texture and deckled edges of true handmade paper
• Sustainably made — produced using traditional methods by skilled craftspeople in India

A favourite among watercolourists, printmakers, and mixed media artists who value authenticity and quality. Get in touch if you need help choosing the right Khadi paper for your work.
