The Thrums story

I’ve loved working with paper for as long as I can remember, a passion that led me to a career as a conservator and bookbinder. Today, through Thrums Craft Cottage, I combine that experience with a love of nature and traditional crafts — from handmade paper and plant-based dyes to cyanotypes and bookbinding — to create unique, thoughtful products and run workshops. Every piece is made with care, using materials chosen for their beauty and longevity, and all proceeds are donated to charities I care deeply about.

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country and their connection to land, waterways, sky and community and pay my respect to Elders past, present and future.
