Illinois artist Emma Sielaff recently used some of our pink flower paper to create this awareness image about water conservation.
Our 5-pack of handmade of mixed fiber sheets is available for you now!
This 2017 winter season we are excited to offer Champaign-Urbana and Illinois themed holiday holiday cards and paper packs. We have been on the maker's fair circuit the past two months and wind things down next week, Dec. 20-21 9:30-2:30 at the Broadway Food Hall in Urbana, IL. Come see us there!
In 2015, Maggie Wierzchucki asked us to help her make coffee-infused paper for her fictitious "First Sip" coffee house. She made beautiful packaging, menus, and prints.
During her time in the studio, she made this fun music video!
In 2015 we opened our studio to Bella Reinhofer who made a seed-based paper for her "Rustic Charm" brand of candles and soap. They are definitely gorgeous!
We recently worked with artist and designer Anastasia Tumanova from We Are Clay to screen print her recent work "Flourishing Female" on some of our miscanthus grass paper. The results were great and Anastasia had this to say about our paper:
"I screen printed a series of posters on Fresh Press cotton and oatmeal papers. I was already excited that I was printing on recycled paper, helping conserve resources and save the planet one print at a time. I was even more excited with the results. The ink sat beautifully on the beautiful flecked paper. It's thick and feels higher quality than store bought paper. I can't wait to print with it again!"
We are proud to have worked with ExploreCU to make them miscanthus grass bookmarks.
