Are you interested in being more eco-friendly with your art?

Did you know that Powertex is AP certified?


The AP Seal identifies art materials that are safe and certified in a toxicological evaluation by a medical expert to contain no materials in sufficient quantities to be toxic or injurious to humans, including children, or to cause acute or chronic health problems. Children in grade six and lower, and adults who may not be able to read and understand safety labeling should use only non-toxic materials. The AP Seal ensures products are non-toxic when used as intended for young children, the physically or mentally handicapped, and any persons who cannot read or understand the safety labeling on product packages.

Hi, I'm Kassy!



I love all the art. I am a mixed media artist that loves to push the boundaries and try new things. I became obsessed with paper crafting more than 20 years ago and never looked back. I also have a passion for teaching other creatives to try new things and be brave when faced with a blank page. I love bridging the gap between the paper craft and fine art worlds to see what we can create together!
