The conversion of Ellergreen, the former country house, into a centre for paper arts is in progress. How exciting that it could become in time a lively place for the paper community, near and far.

It’s so encouraging to see traditional skills being used and passed on to the next generation and visitors made so welcome.

The wonderful end product is so great – stacks of hand made paper
