Sparto’s sustainable features
🌍 FSC certified
🌍 Made with 100% self-produced hydroelectric energy
🌍 Contains esparto fibre, post-consumer recycled material and bagasse (the by-product of sugar cane processing)

“Listen, Analyse, Practise, Create, Acknowledge, Share, Invest.”
Last October, we hosted a conference curated by Greg Bunbury titled “Doing the Work”.
It was a participatory conference dedicated to recognising and amplifying marginalised voices.
Through talks, discussions, and a collaborative workshop we:
• Celebrated the creative brilliance of marginalised designers.
• Confronted the realities of racism and exclusion in the design industry.
• Explored pathways to build an inclusive, equitable future for all.
The day culminated in a collective act of creation: together with our facilitators and speakers, participants we workshopped ideas into a shared manifesto.
This manifesto has now been designed and printed at St Bride Foundation’s letterpress workshop using woodtype from our historic collections, combined with a polymer plate created using David Williams’ Salford Sans, and printed on A3 165gsm vibrant yellow paper kindly supplied by Fenner Paper.
This manifesto stands as a permanent record of our conversations and commitments – a tool for designers and organisations to adopt, promote, and live by.
This is an invitation to listen, to reflect, to act – and to do the work, together.
Copies of the manifesto are now available to pre-order via our online shop. Please click the link in our bio for more information. They’ll be mailed out by June.
Huge thanks to everyone who spoke, facilitated, organised and participated at the conference and specially to Greg Bunbury, Becky Chilcott, the letterpress workshop team at St Bride Foundation, Fenner Paper and proofreader Claire Baker.

We’re always inspired to see what is created with PaperWise - our unbleached paper made from 100% agricultural waste.🌾
This project features four striking cover designs exploring expressive typography and print heritage.
♻️ By giving crop residue a second life, this sheet offers not only a lower environmental footprint, but also a distinctive natural tone and subtle texture that brings real depth and feel to printed work.

@power.film.art is a project building a solar power station across the rooftops of North East London, exploring what happens when communities move from being consumers of energy to becoming producers - recognising their shared power and quite literally generating it. In collaboration with @fennerpaper .
A reminder that circular materials aren’t just for packaging. Sometimes, they challenge entire systems. 🌍✨

Seeing PaperWise used in real packaging projects like this is what drives us. 🌱
This candle packaging, designed by Sina Luck, produced by @customcartons for Restore Home and Organics showcases how our collaborators are using agricultural waste - turning what would otherwise be left behind, into something meaningful.

A true love story.
Behind every collection of paper, there is a story. A love story that lasts longer than just Valentine’s Day.
At Fenner Paper, our love begins with the planet. It’s in every sustainable choice, every responsible mill collaboration, every sheet created with care for the planet, on land and at sea. Because the best love stories shouldn’t cost the earth.
The next real love, is that of a brand story. The texture that speaks before words do, the finish that offers a feeling, the stock that becomes part of a message someone keeps forever.
And of course, the love of design. The way colour sits just right. The quiet confidence of a perfectly chosen stock to support a beautiful detailed design, and the weight you feel you in your hands.
Looking for your perfect paper match?
Ask us for inspiration, and we’ll pair you with a stock you’ll fall for.
