Original hand painted papers by Claire Maziarczyk

What are Paste Papers?

Paste papers are one of the earliest forms of decorative papers. They were first used
in the 16th century for covers and end papers on books. In the early 1980’s, renewed
interest in paste papers created a renaissance in decorative paper making, which
has yielded some of the most intricate and beautiful designs to date.

Paste papers are most commonly used for traditional crafts such as bookbinding.
They also provide a stable ground for calligraphy, and printmaking. In addition, these
high quality papers are ideal for scrap booking, collage, rubber stamping, and
origami. Custom coloring using the Pantone Color System can yield a unique look
for corporate identity, package design, or personal stationary.

Paste papers created by Claire Maziarczyk are stain resistant, durable, lightfast,
and pH neutral. They also offer an exciting alternative to other decorative surfaces.
Patterns and colors are updated regularly in order to stay current with the trends in
the home furnishing market. Many of the papers coordinate well with available
picture framing materials.

PASTE PAPER PATTERNS are a contemporary expression of a traditional craft.
They are created with the finest papers and paints currently available.
Our papers are consistent from batch to batch, while maintaining their
handmade charm.

We are available from 9AM to 5PM EST on Monday through Friday.
