| University of Iowa, Oakdale Research Facility in Iowa City is under the direction of Tim Barrett. Iowa papers are exceptionally strong, well-formed and long-lasting, reflecting state-of-the-art and ongoing research on traditional papermaking procedures. Iowa's papermaking is seasonal (Japanese style papers are made in the winter, book and papercase paper are made in the spring and summer) and we stock up on each type of paper as it is produced. This means that when Iowa paper is sold out, there may be a lengthy wait before it is in stock again. Your patience is appreciated. We try to keep as many in stock as possible. |
