Studio Sunday – Paper Boat Press

Paper Boat Press is a boutique ceramic studio in Brisbane run by the incredibly talented Kylie Johnson. As well as being a ceramicist Kylie also writes poetry. She’s self published three books of poetry in the past and more recently has had three more books published. Amazing! (These books are available from her website if you would like to get your hands on a copy.)

Kylie established Paper Boat Press in 1995 selling greeting cards featuring some of her poems. It’s now grown to include ceramics ornaments, ceramic jewellery, other ceramic pieces and original illustrations. Her passion for the written word is still clear in all of her work with a lot of pieces featuring hand stamped words and poems.

Kylie’s work is available from more than 80 stores and gallery stores in Australia, New Zealand and the US including Anthropologie.

She also has a gallery and store in Ashgrove, Brisbane where she sells her own work but also curates exhibitions of other artists exhibitions.

I featured Kylie’s studio on instagram this week as part of a new weekly feature I’m calling Studio Sunday. I find peoples creative spaces and work in progress really inspiring and I know I’m not the only one. Every Sunday over on the @Crafted_Aus instagram I’ll be giving you a look into the studios of some amazing Australian creatives.
