Boutique ceramic studio Paper Boat Press. with its inviting rich, red door, features the original works of Brisbane artist, Kylie Johnson. The gallery is housed in a former Ashgrove former store, built in 1926. As a child, my mother would take me to this little shop (then owned by Mrs Bruce) and buy me a packet of lollies for 10 cents. The wooden floors and bay window have been retained just as I remember. Some 80 years later, the shop was transformed and re-opened as a gallery in 2012.



Today, Kylie's delicate ceramics are inscribed with inspirational and playful quotes. The heart shaped, heart-felt fridge magnets featuring cheeky messages like "be mine, hot stuff and kiss me" ($12.95) each are a lot of fun.



As someone who likes writing and words, the charming journals and classic, old school lead pencils are a pleasant surprise. The works at Paper Boat Press are perfect for gifts, an original piece of art for your home or simply some uplifting words to brighten your day.
