Meet your Teacher
Susan is a lover of all things paper and founder of 'Born in Paper'.
It is fair to say that Susan's obsession for the beautiful textures, colours, even the smell of printing and paper, has quite literally been ingrained in her since birth. Growing up in a family printing business in Byron Bay meant she was hands on with everything ; binding note pads, collating, sorting lead type or dusting gold and silver wedding stationery.
For years, Susan was taking office waste from her work place and recycling it into handmade papers. Now, Susan shares her passion with her 'Born in Paper' workshops ; those who attend often say that it is a workshop they don't want to end !
