 "It's the simple things in life that are the  most extraordinary " Paulo Coehlo

​

We are here to celebrate the beauty, variety and elegance of cross-cultural papers...

​

We have recently opened an eclectic paper store, Gingko and Ink Atelier, in Banff, Alberta located in Harmony Lane. We are selling fine handmade papers and paper crafts from around the world. There are speciality patterned Chiyogami papers from Japan, vibrant Tibetan papers from Nepal and marbelled papers using ancient techniques typical of Italian craftsmanship. We sell many products made of paper too, which include handmade journals, locally made cards, assorted origami paper, tibetan paper books, paper beads, handcrafted jewellery and much more.

​

Enjoy the beauty of the patterns, textures and become inspired to use them in creating your own works of art such as handmade journals, cards, ornaments, etc. The beautiful papers can also be used to cover old or new journals, for invitations, greeting cards, letterpress, collages, framing or to elegantly wrap a present.

 

There will be classes to learn about mixed media, the art of cartonnage, book binding, making artwork with antique typewriters (Snail Mail). You can rent the space at Gingko and Ink Atelier for your own private function too. Go to the "Contact" page to book your next creative project today!
