Tree Free Handmade Decorative Paper

It seems that everyday, we have clients searching for "green" papers. At The Paper Studio, we make recycled paper every week and we save all our paper trimmings, cardboard boxes, as well as cotton and linen clothing just for this purpose. We teach letterpress classes so brides can make their own invites using handset type, printing on an 1950's clam-shell press (which means no motor, operated by your own arm power) and soy based ink. Letterpress is a great example of recycling old presses--our oldest one is from the 1890's to our newer ones from the 1960's. Our recycled invites are tree-free--made from recycled cotton or linen rag, cardboard boxes or discarded plant fiber.
