Found
in the traditional papermaking town of Burnie in North West Tasmania,
Creative Paper is a papermaking studio with a difference. We
make wonderful papers with maximum attention to an intrinsically
Tasmanian product which is ecologically
sound as well as beautiful and practical.
Situated in the heart of Emu Bay, we’ve been making handmade
paper here since 1992 using traditional methods which date back
to first century China. Our papers are made from a diverse range
of materials
including recycled cotton and native Tasmanian plant fibres.
