Laura Sayers Illustration

Maker of miniature people and houses, finely crafted with a lot of patience and paper.

Hello! I'm Laura, a paper illustrator from Oxfordshire newly based in sunny Glasgow.

About 6 years ago when I was still in school I picked up a pair of scissors and started snipping some shapes and I've never looked back. My pieces started at a reasonable size and gradually got smaller and smaller quite unintentionally, but I loved the process of making something so detailed on a novelty scale so I've been honing in this way of working over the last few years.

I make lots of different types of work in my practice, for literature, publicity, gifts and stationery; and I'm excited to bring my illustrations to the wonderful world of Not on the High Street with this exclusive custom-made range.

Whether it's a portrait of a friend or loved one, or if you want a special way to remember a home, I can whip it up meticulously in paper form for you. Each individual piece is made entirely by hand, and no detail is too small.

I'm in the early stages of this little venture, so do keep an eye on this page for more paper pieces in the future!
