About Elias Thorne

Elias Thorne has spent the last decade transforming fallen timber into delicate, durable sheets of bark paper.

He operates a small studio in the Pacific Northwest where he teaches workshops on natural dyeing and papermaking.

His philosophy centers on the belief that the texture of the original tree should remain visible in the final product.

When he is not working in the studio, he spends his time hiking the old growth forests to source his raw materials.
