Made From Scratch With Passion and Love


All of Andrea's books and paper goods are carefully made by hand from scratch with passion and love. Each one is truly a one of a kind piece.
Enjoy a visit to her wonderful Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/Nicopapergoods/.

My name is Andrea Kohler. I am a homesick (occasionally) Swiss Heidi. I grew up in Zurich Switzerland where I met my Swiss/American husband. After a few years back and forth, we decided to move to Seattle, Washington. We live with our thirteen year old son Nico in a 100 year old modest, but character full house.


When I was sixteen I started a 4 year bookbinding apprenticeship in my home town.




For fifteen years I ran a thriving bookbindery in down town Zurich. In the evenings I taught bookbinding in a craft School and earned my living. Today I have the freedom to explore the creative processes. After all these years I am still very passionate about my craft. About a year ago I started to sell on Etsy and it has opened up many new doors for me.

  1. Loved reading your post about Andrea. I've always wanted to do a bookbinding course but just haven't been able to find one in my local area.
