Creative Paper Tasmania is a vibrant community of artists and craftspeople all dedicated to the fine art of handmade paper. Creative Paper Tasmania has been based in the old east mill at Burnie since 1996, and was originally a community project to provide local young people with a new trade. Since then, the studio has developed into one of Tasmania’s most unique tourist destinations with a dedication to environmentally sound practices as well as inspiring handmade paper.

Studio Tours. Come and see how Australia’s largest handmade paper studio works! We’ll even include a hands-on lesson with Tasmania’s most talented papermakers and give you a free sample!

As well as our tours, we also provide visitors with a very different gallery shop. Here, we not only sell our handmade papers, but we also showcase a dazzling array of handmade books, stationery and albums made from our papers. Perfect if you are looking for an authentic, Tasmanian gift.

Looking for something unforgettable? Our made-to-order service may be the answer if you are looking for a memorable corporate gift, wedding album or perhaps your own unique range of stationery. Please get in touch to discuss your ideas further.

Throughout the year we actively promote local artist’s work throughout our gallery shop and our excellent artists-in-residence scheme. We also provide our community with a very special venue for exhibitions and workshops and are proud to be associated with events like Living Artists Week and Burnie Shines.
