Mesoamerican beaten bark papers, known as amate, amatl, or huun, have been used by ancient bookmakers and scribes to produce codices since pre-Columbian times. Explore traditional amate papermaking technique along with modern innovations as practiced by a 21st-century artist and papermaker. Lisa Miles creates one-of-a-kind beaten bark paperworks using plant-based materials and natural dyes.
