Stand
At June edition of Papír Fest we had our own stand and represented 5 artists from CCC community.
Artists who joined the stand got one-to-one consultation on concepting and choosing the products for the market, recommendations on print houses and pre-print preparation of their products as well a continuous support for a month before the festival.
As a part of promotional campaign Artist & Products individual photoshoots were organised, webpage created and leaflets printed featuring works of which of 5 artists.
CCC took care of all organisation associated with preparing and smooth running of the stand on the day of the festival. Artists could join for a couple of hours to help with a stand and meet their customers and fans in person.
The filter coffee was served to the first customers.

Marie Doucet
Marie Doucet is a French designer/artist based in Prague, Czech Republic. Her favourite material is paper and she shapes it into poetical objects that invite spaciousness and contemplation. She’s become intimately familiar with craft and storytelling through objects ever since her grandmother taught her how to fold her first origami crane during summer holidays near the Atlantic ocean. Many of her art school projects at the RCA (London) were about movement, dreams, and the invisible. These are elements that can still be found in her creations today.
At our stand at Papír Fest you will find Marie’s paper mobiles DOTS and BUTTERFLIES, hand cut cards & embroideries.

Šárka Parkanová/ Liebär
Behind the stationary brand Liebär stands (and sometimes lays or jumps around – according to the mood) Šárka Parkanová, Czech illustrator and author. Although many of the products are cute and cheerful, don’t be surprised to also see condolence cards for pets who’ve passed away.
The name of the brand (in German – the language Šárka has learned to tolerate and even love) stands for staying kind while fighting for what you believe in. Liebär is also eco-friendly as well as locally designed and sourced.
At our stand at Papír Fest you will find “Cheers” - a collection of illustrated cocktail recipes, “Emotional support pets” collection, “Stationery” collection and condolence cards for passed away cats and dogs.
Ani Lamberova
Ani Lamberova is a self-taught watercolour artist, illustrator, new media student, and licensed boat captain. Sea, boats and water are her passions, along with drawing, and she shares this passion with us through her works. Even when the closest sea is far away and it feels like nothing great is ever going to happen again - a piece of the sea is always near in her prints, postcards, bookmarks or stickers. Breathe in some salty winds and keep going!
At our stand at Papír Fest you will find her collection of bookmarks, prints and sea themed greeting cards.
Lucie Vanišová / Kousek přírody
Kousek přírody (Piece of Nature) is a small design stationery shop with original products focusing on nature motifs. It’s products invite us to savour the beauty of nature, moment by moment. The illustrations are drawn by Lucie Vanišová.
