Ambalavao's paper workshops make Antaimoro paper from bark fibre, pressing flowers, leaves, and stems into the sheets while they are still wet. The process is simple to watch and surprisingly delicate: pulp, frame, water, petals, sun.
Finished cards, lampshades, and sheets are sold on site. They are light, packable souvenirs and a better buy than many mass-produced crafts because you can see the work that went into them.
