Tassotti Papers
Grafiche Tassotti is the present heir to the lineage of hundreds-of-years old master printmaking work of the Remondini family from Bassano del Grappa in northern Italy.
They successfully continue their mission to become a creative print workshop where expert hands create refined and exclusive products, preserving an ancient artisan tradition, while attentively safeguarding the planet, using only environmentally friendly inks.
Their prints are exquisite and timeless, and I have the grand fortune of being able to purchase these papers directly from Italy.
Handmade Lokta Paper
Beautiful handmade lokta paper from Nepal is one of the primary papers used in Hypatia Storytellers. Lokta is produced using bark from the daphne shrub, a cousin to the laurel and the rhododendron.
Lokta is very eco-friendly, as the plant regenerates quickly and is one of the few under-utilized plant resources in the world. Each lokta sheet is made by hand and celebrates its “wabi sabi” beauty.
Delightful to write, paint and glue on, it is incredibly strong and flexible. All of the handmade pages of the Hypatia Storytellers can also be used, in addition to the archival plain page soft white paper in between each decorative sheet!
Natural Leather
The Bluebell Storyteller is bound into a beautiful denim blue leather that is full of character with an aged, rustic, one-of-a-kind look and distinctive pull-up.
Natural leather develops a rich patina over time and may darken, soften, and develop color variations.
Each scratch, scuff, and crease tells a story, adding depth and personality to the leather’s surface.
When desired or needed, “Leather CPR” (easily purchased through Amazon) can be massaged into the leather to restore its moisture and erase scratches.
