Tarlatan - noun
Today's artsy word, also known as tarlaton, is inspired by my recent homework. I returned to papermaking and found a piece piece of tarlatan in the stash. It's a stiff, starched open-weave fabric that looks like cheesecloth on a larger scale. It's absorbent to some degree and also used for cleaning intaglio plates as well as shaping paper projects.
