Papermaking Artist

Papermaking changed my art & life.

Let me show you artistic papermaking, and change yours.

You know how you’re looking for an earth-friendly art medium?

I started Paperslurry in 2012 because artistic papermaking makes you stop and go: “HOLY GUACAMOLE!!!!!!”

So, how do you turn natural pulp into handmade papers, paintings & sculptures? And how can you learn from a pro papermaking artist?

Find out by signing up for Paperslurry Weekly.

I’m so happy you’re here!

Stay curious,

“...something in what you wrote really resounded with me, and I just wanted to let you know that your view on papermaking inspires me. I love how you describe your transition into papermaking by using basically waste materials, making the whole venture more circular."
