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.
