Our Story
Our Closing out sale is now live. I have decided to discontinue with Field Day Paper while I work at other endeavours. Thanks so much for all of your support for my small card creation business over the years!
Field Day Paper is about drawing and observing the plants and animals in the natural world. It is for those who enjoy the outdoors and appreciate the value of paper goods created with care. Our paper goods are printed locally in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada on 100% Post Consumer 100lb weight paper.
Field Day Paper started as a handmade card and paper product business created by artist Joanna Close. Initially Joanna created cards and postcards from her illustrations and sold them under the name Joanna Close Illustration from 2004-2015. On a fresh venture of paper goods starting in the Summer of 2015, Joanna has changed the name of her illustration company to Field Day Paper. Please contact us with any questions about our products or for a quote on a custom order.
