Papa Llama
Risa Culbertson is a San Francisco-based printmaker and the creator of Papa Llama stationary. Like many of the women in the Handy Fa’am, she never thought she would be a printmaker—the trade found her. Risa started hand carving linoleum blocks and individually hand printing cards in her “home office.” Eventually (in December of 2014) she opened The Aesthetic Union with her business partner James Tucker. James does custom letterpress and helps run The Aesthetic Union store where you can find all of their favorite paper goods, and of course Papa Llama.
