Comments on: An unexpected material: How mineral paper inspires my art

I have purchased some mineral paper and I am excited to use it. I am discouraged when I hear that it is “biodegradable.” I guess all paper is? If I make a watercolor, I want it to have the possibility of survival. I want my work to be lightfast. I want a level of permanence. I know there is an appeal in the ephemeral, but I want the option of longevity.

In reply to Christiane DENAYER.

Hello Christiane,
I purchased sheets measuring 70 × 100 cm from Rockpaper in Germany. The minimum purchase quantity at the time was so large that I have enough to last me for years. Unfortunately, the website is under construction. I have heard that this may even be a permanent situation.
I hope that’s not true. Smaller pads (both in size and quantity) are (still) available from Boesner. But they also seem to be having delivery problems.
Let’s hope that demand is high enough for them to be added back to the range.

I am enthusiastic about using minéral paper and read your article with great pleasure, but where can I buy such a paper in Europe? I’d like to find paper sizes 50cm/7]cm minimum.
Thank you for your help
