"SOMERSET", Papermill ST. CUTHBERTS MILL

The manufacture of artists' papers here in the Axe Valley in Somerset originated at the neighbouring Wookey Hole Mill and the tradition continued when St. Cuthberts took that over. As demand for the mill's papers increased, production was actually transferred to the St. Cuthberts site where artists' mouldmade grades are now manufactured. A combination of traditional craftmanship, modern technology and computer control has allowed these artists' papers to become a first-class range.

The difference between various Somerset papers is largely in the surface structure, not in the composition of the paper (pulp). The paper colour can be different. Below you see the four surface structures of Somerset papers. Just to compare the structures. For that reason the differences have been enhanced.

PAY ATTENTION! The paper in the tubes is rolled up. Before use, it should be flattened by moistening the paper and keeping it flat for a while. This is also often necessary in preparation for printing.
ADVICE: Only buy paper on a roll or a tube of rolled sheets if you are familiar with making sheets of paper "print-ready". The sheets should be moistened, and, alternately, kept for a while between blotting paper. In this way, the tension in the paper fibers as a result of being rolled up is removed. Any creases will also disappear as a result.
