Laura Sayers Illustration

About

Design-conscious stationery, made with a lot of patience and paper.

Hello! I'm Laura, a paper artist and illustrator from Oxfordshire now based up in sunny Glasgow.

About 11 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 since going freelance in 2018.

I make lots of different types of work in my practice, for literature, publicity, gifts and stationery; and I'm excited to be bringing my illustrated prints and cards to this corner of Not on the High Street.

I make all my pieces originally from layers upon layers of paper, and then I photograph them to achieve an image with a sense of depth, a focus on colour and an illustration that seems to jump off the page.
