The Paper Project was started 4 years ago, it provides work for a number of the young adults living at FFC. Old newspapers, magazines, notebooks and paper products are donated from local people and recycled into home-made sheets of paper. These are then made into cards and envelopes which are used for thank you notes and seasonal greeting cards.
Saravanan, our resident artist is a 25 year old man who has lived at FFC since childhood. He helps create the 2 types of cards made at FFC.
Saravanan draws the picture outline on the hand embroidered cards, these are then emboidered with colored thread by John Basa, small Saravanan, Balamuregan, Ram Kumar and John Peter.
Saravanan also paints other cards with numerous images, his most recent creations are cards with botanical illustrations of flowers. Each of his cards are unique and we think beautiful. We are lucky to have such a talented young man at FFC.
