Claire’s first paste paper commission was for thirty
25 x 38 inch sheets of the pattern covering the book
pictured opposite, Two Tales by Merce Rodoreda,
published by Red Ozier Press. This commission also
marked the beginning of Claire’s career as a
production decorative paper maker. She is known
for her consistent quality of patterns and impeccable
color matching. Other small presses have commissioned
special patterns for their limited edition books. Some of
these presses include Alembic Press, Borderlands Press,
Caliban, Fleece Press, and Old School Press. Among
the many titles published by Alembic Press featuring
Claire’s papers are the titles Maziarczyk Paste Papers
and Miniature Paste Papers, shown below.
   

Copies of the following Alembic Press books are still available through this website:

Maziarczyk Pastepapers, cloth spine, tipped in
paper samples, 7 inches x 10 inches.

Miniature Paste Papers, miniature accordion
style binding, 3 inches x 2.75 inches. Includes12

PASTEPAPER PATTERNS are well suited as a decorative element in mats in the picture framing
market. The variety of patterns and colors are suitable to accent favorite objects, children’s art,
and old family photos. Claire’s work has been regularly featured in
PICTURE FRAMING MAGAZINE.
The June 2005 issue highlights some of her work in the article on Design Trends. Some of the
Product Showcase images are featured below. All papers used are from the standard line in
the swatch book.
 

     
Because of the exposure of Claire’s papers
in art and book binding supply stores in
New York City, custom paper patterns have
been commissioned by graphic design
companies and publishers looking for a
unique surface design. Many patterns have
been designed for custom invitations and
corporate presentation portfolios. Numerous
patterns have been reproduced on trade
paperback covers, book jackets, children’s
books, album and CD covers, computer
software packaging, and linens. Contact
Claire directly to discuss reproduction rights
and fees.
