This gorgeous paper comes to us from a Mexico, where skilled artisans
have been producing amate paper for centuries. The culture of amate
paper dates back to pre-Columbian Meso-American
times.
Amate paper looks amazing if you simply frame a sheet as ready made
artwork. Also terrific for bookmaking arts, collage, multimedia artwork, paper sculpture, lampshades, and more.
This solid amate papers are made with embossed discs that look like
"coins." This gives the sheets a lightly textured surface reminiscent of
polka dots or beehive pattern. These sheets are ideal for painting with
encaustic, gouache, or acrylic!
