Interview with Legion Paper Co-founder Michael Ginsburg

311 - Interview with Michael Ginsburg

This week John is talking with Legion Paper Co-founder, Michael Ginsburg.  Michael shares his vast experience in the papermaking industry.  Legion has been successful by listening to what artists really want and then creating superior products that fill the gaps in the market. 

Some questions from Monthly Sharpener (Members Circle):

Can you store paper in the plastic that it’s shipped in?

Do hemp and bamboo papers hold up longer over time?


Michael also hints at a brand new paper coming out later this year! Who’s excited?! 😲
