Our Studio and Exhibition

By Amy Chen

Paper toling originated in Europe around the seventeen century, when papier-mâché and decoupage were quite popular. Prints from a favorite painting are chosen, sections are then cut out, shaped, layered, and glued to create a three-dimensional picture. The finished product, called paper tole, is then varnished and mounted in a frame or shadowed box, turning it into a masterpiece which can be more realistic and livelier than the original.

I have worked in this area of paper tole for a number of years now, first in Taiwan around 1991, then in Los Angeles where my studio is located. My students come from all walks of life: homemakers, professionals, Asians, Westerners... They all share a common goal, to create exceptionally beautiful paper tole. Since I have been in this business for so long, I have accumulated a huge collections of papertole prints from various artists. In the spring of 2005, I have started selling them online to customers like you. Besides having thousands of different papertole designs at low, low prices, our website is extremely user-friendly. So please take a look and be amazed.

Classes are held at our studio every week at the following time:

Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
