Five Years with Primrose Paper Arts

It’s hard to believe it’s been five years since I joined Primrose Paper Arts Inc. Time really flies when you’re surrounded by paper, pulp, and creative people!

Why do I love handmade paper so much?
First, it’s eco-friendly and affordable — most of our pulp comes from recycled paper, so every sheet feels like a little act of renewal.
Second, I get to use the Hollander beater — a big, old-school machine that turns scraps into beautiful pulp. It’s noisy but so much fun!
Third, the people. Our studio is full of friendly makers who share ideas, tips, and lots of laughter.
And finally, the art itself. Handmade paper has endless possibilities — you can fold it, sculpt it, or just admire its texture.

Making paper by hand connects me to nature, creativity, and community. I can’t imagine my art life without it now.
