Shotwell Paper Mill

Shotwell Paper Mill Shotwell Paper Mill is a production paper, print, and book making facility located in the Mission District of San Francisco.

We produce our own editions as well as commissioned work. Our ongoing community based projects showcase craft in San Francisco. Shotwell Paper Mill is a hand paper mill located in the Mission district of San Francisco. We use traditional Western and Eastern papermaking techniques to produce sheets one at a time. Our paper is made from old rags, locally grown plant fibers, and/or other plant based

textiles that are otherwise headed for the waste stream. We work with communities, organizations, businesses, and individual artists, on projects that use handmade paper rich with story and meaning. Our mill is equipped for full production in hand paper making, silk screen printing, letterpress, and book binding.

Paper & pollinators:
Over the past few weeks we’ve been releasing monarchs into the wild of the Mission. These pretty pollinators eat milkweed flower and help pollinate plants that we make paper out of! It’s been a magical process to watch their transformation. It’s a small reminder of the importance of crating within a sustainable ecosystem. Someday we will make paper out of our milkweed plants outside the studio. The monarch migrations have been seeing drastic change due to climate change, it was a joy to host a few of these pollinators.
