About Domestic Papers & Lee Steiner

I'm a book artist and hand-papermaker with my own studio for
the last twenty-something years.

In my papermaking, I use pure cotton fibers and recycled
ingredients to create unique handmade papers.  My papers can
be used for collage, painting, stationery, and bookbinding.  I
have made custom papers for artists' special projects and I have
taught many people this fascinating skill.

Working with paper naturally led to books.  Bookbinding is
fun, satisfying, and addictive and I like to say,
"I can make a book out of anything!"

I've made books from cereal boxes, CDs, and coasters, among
other things. I enjoy the thrill of experimenting with diverse
materials and the challenge of matching just the right
bookbinding format to the purpose of the book.
