Paper Lizard Studios under construction
Backyard artisan paper studio

Make something beautiful from something forgotten.

Discarded materials, strange experiments, water, pulp and a little bit of trouble — transformed into handmade paper in a backyard studio.

The idea

From something forgotten into something new.

Paper Lizard Studios is a small experimental paper studio built around one simple question: What else could this become?

The beginning

The walls are becoming a map of the studio.

Paper Lizard Studios is being built by hand — one wall, one lizard, one experiment at a time.

The studio is still becoming itself. That is part of the story, and we're keeping the doors open while it happens.

The first lizard went on the wall before the paper studio was finished.

The making of the studio

Before there was paper, there were lizards.

This is the beginning: painting the walls, building the space, and discovering what Paper Lizard Studios wants to become.

From the studio

Meet the lizards.

Even the lizards are curious.

While the studio was taking shape, one of its smallest neighbors stopped by to see what was happening.
