FEATHER PAPER PHILOSOPHY
In an age where speed and screens are increasingly the dominant forces in our lives, designs and interiors created with tactility at their core become an essential reprieve from this frantic nullity, somewhere it is possible to be grounded in the present and re-connect with all your senses through the hand of the maker. Or put another way, when something has been sculpted, knotted or woven by hand, within it by default lies a sense of love and care, and to be surrounded by such things, can only be beneficial to the soul.

MINDFUL PAPER FOR
NATURE LOVING SOULS
Feather Paper about the quiet details. It is about slowing down, celebrating the sacred beauty of the natural world and finding joy in the things that surround us. It is about telling our stories with our whole hearts and our hands.
I want to create meaningful pieces that touch others. You can see someone's hand in their calligraphy or painting and no two pieces are the same. In this way we tell our stories and share our souls.
The environment and nature are important to me so I try to be very deliberate about following this through in my creations.
I have spent a lot of time researching resources and buy from suppliers and other artisans and craftspeople who share my values.
Neverthess, I’m not perfect and there’s so much more I need to do. For example, there’s no getting round the damaged caused in shipping the materials of my trade.
Here, I try to offset the things I can’t change by supporting charities such as The Rainforest Alliance.
FEATHER PAPER IS WORKING TO BE CERTIFIED BY 1% FOR THE PLANET.
