Paper in the Balkans
By Linda Tancs
In today’s digital environment, you may be tempted to think that paper is a relic from another age. Maybe the National Workshop for Handmade Paper will change your mind. Located in Ohrid, North Macedonia, the staff will show you the centuries-old way of making paper, by pressing and drying the slurry of pulp. And the workshop’s printer is an exact replica of Guttenberg’s printing press from the 15th century, one of two in the world. Of course, you can buy paper made in the museum and purchase prints at a nominal cost. Entry to the workshop is free.
