Guided Tours

Delve into the history of the mill with one of our knowledgeable guides. We offer tours of the mill and the paper workshop. If you like to be creative, you can try your hand at making your own paper from scratch in the paper workshop as part of the hand papermaking tour.

Papermaking by hand

In our paper workshop, we both show and tell you about the hand papermaking process at the Tumba Paper Mill and this art form that is over 2,000 years old. After a guided tour on this theme, you can try your hand at creating your own sheet of paper from scratch.

The tour is suitable for adults and families. Recommended for ages 6 and up.
