Helen Knaggs is a self taught paper maker. All her handmade papers are made from recycled materials and plants, using such additives as old spices, petals, sisal etc to give each piece of paper a unique twist. She uses her paper to make handmade greetings cards and books. She draws inspiration from the rich colours, patterns, and textures of Indian textile work, as well as repetitive patterns found in nature.
