Sizing Handmade Paper with Wheat Starch Paste

This past weekend, I attempted to size my handmade paper with wheat starch paste. Sizing is an important part of the handmade paper process, especially if the goal is to make a quality paper that one can write, draw, or paint on, so it’s something I’ve wanted to master before I delved deeper into making new paper batches. This article is a little bit of a how-to, but also a recap of what I learned and the outcome of this first sizing test.
