About

Virginia (Gigi) Sarsfield, a production hand papermaker since 1994, specializes in artist-grade and lampshade papers.

Bits of fiber from walks in the woods or along the sea find their way into some of the papers – tufts of cattail, small bits of lichen, garlic stem from Four Seasons Farm, traditional papermaking fibers from Thailand, rag from places less exotic.

Bright pigments ground from the earth.

Never satisfied for long, the vat will metamorphous from one color to the next with all the steps between the two.

The result is a rich palette of handmade papers in many different shades and textures.
