End of an Era for Papeterie St-Armand

End Of An Era For Papeterie St-Armand

The end of an era for lifetime award winning indie paper mill Papeterie St-Armand.

I've known David and Denise for nearly 2 decades.

From my first tour of their mill in 2008 during a neighbourhood-wide open studio tour, to being an apprentice with them for a summer refining my eye for imperfections, colour variations, thickness, paper making, and handling, becoming a wholesale client, and as a colleague in the book arts, paper making, and artistic community.

I've known this change was coming. Yet still have a tear in my eye for what we've all been lucky to experience through their innovative and impactful work.

We are still open making handmade papers with the help of the paper makers who want to keep going. Our smaller studio in the Laurentians is built and we plan to make reproductions of traditional papers for drawing, calligraphy and pastel.
