Launch of papermaking website: Gill Wilson - May 2008

Gill Wilson launched her new website this month, triggered by her success at the Affordbale Art Fair at Battersea Park in March.  She developed a unique way of working with pure natural plant fibre which was shown at 100% Design at Earl's Court in 2007. The Amsterdam based Menno Kroon commissioned a project which further developed the process, particularly in terms of excellence in presentation. A London manufacturer produced the acrylic frames which present the work, allowing it to be viewed without the hinderencs of frames, mounts and backboards.

Gill is in the process of renovating an old pottery with the aim of developing a regional papermaking resource. To find out about her work and processes, please visit www.gill-wilson.com

Gill Wilson produces handmade paper using natural plant fibre as the raw material for architectural and interior schemes.

The pulp is hand dyed to produce a palette which ranges from the most subtle natural tones to full colour saturation. Any range of colours, hues and tones can be achieved.

Textures range from richly fibrous to perfectly smooth and are further enhanced by tooling, casting, spraying and layering. The finished artwork can be produced to any size, from domestic spaces to installations of unlimited scale.
