Join us at the Worm for a special talk from Orkney based Vintage Paper Co's William
Vintage Paper Co makes books, prints, bags, specialist tools and other occasional items, entirely by hand. The focus is always on quality over quantity - most of their products being one-offs or limited run, numbered series.
VPCo began life in the 2000s, buying and selling antique and vintage handmade paper for fine art (hence the name). It has slowly spread its wings from being a simple supplier of artists' materials to becoming a leading maker of small batch, luxurious, completely unnecessary, but highly desirable things.
Their passion and knowledge for beautiful paper still exists and informs the products they make. They don't use electrical machinery, because the equipment they use tends to date from Victorian times when electricity wasn't a thing much like some of the equipment used in our own print studio.
The business is based in an old Northern Lighthouse Board building in the small town of Stromness, on Orkney, which is about 20 miles off the northernmost point of Scotland.
Join us on Saturday to hear more about the Vintage Paper Co story and how they came to be stuck in Aberdeen for 3 months!
