Giant leaves: 2.20 m x 3.40 m
Since 2004, the Moulin workshop has been producing giant, hand-shaped sheets. Sheets measuring 2.20 m X 3.40 m allow artists coming into residence to perform, these sheets are also made on demand for artistic projects.
This giant shape of 2.20 m X 3.40 m was made by technicians from the Royal de Luxe company for the project of a giant book at the request of Néry Catineau, known as Néry, French author, singer, director and stage producer.
In one day, 2 to 3 giant sheets of paper can be made.
This work requires eight to ten people to manipulate the form (the sieve). It is a real spectacle. The leaves are then left to dry for several days before the artists can perform on them.
The Brousses Paper Mill is the only European mill to produce this giant format of paper entirely by hand.
