Paperdoll Art Studio is expanding beyond workshops and creative experiences to represent and sell a carefully curated selection of original artwork and fine art prints by practising artists.
This new platform has been created to help selected artists reach a wider audience, sell their original artwork and create an additional income stream through fine art print royalties—without having to manage the demanding commercial work behind every sale.
Paperdoll Curated Art Collection
A Personal Message from Alma Tipon
Hello, my name is Alma Tipon, founder and owner of Paperdoll Art Studio.
I am a practising artist and have been teaching art workshops for several years. Because I work within the industry myself, I understand the reality behind building a creative career: the commitment required to develop your practice, the challenge of reaching customers and the difficulty of creating a sustainable income from your artwork.
Artists are expected not only to create, but also to become marketers, photographers, salespeople, administrators and fulfilment teams. It can take valuable time and energy away from the work that matters most.
I founded Paperdoll Art Studio in April 2024, beginning in one small room with a clear purpose: to create meaningful paid opportunities for artists and build a business rooted in creativity, quality and community.
Since then, Paperdoll Art Studio has grown from one small studio into seven creative studios, including four dedicated splatter rooms. Today, we provide regular freelance opportunities for nine practising artists through our workshops, classes and creative experiences, supported by a dedicated administrative team that manages customer service, bookings and the day-to-day operations behind the business.
This growth has been built through consistent work, investment, marketing, customer care and continuous development behind the scenes.
Paperdoll has become more than a collection of studios. We have built an audience, a recognisable creative brand, an operational structure and a growing community of people actively interested in art and creative experiences.
I now want to use that audience, infrastructure and experience to create a new platform through which selected artists can present and sell their work.
The Next Chapter:
The Paperdoll Curated Art Collection
Creating More Opportunities for Practising Artists
Welcome
Thank you for your interest in becoming part of Paperdoll Art Studio.
Paperdoll was built with one belief:
Practising artists deserve more opportunities to earn from their creativity.
Many artists create incredible work but spend just as much time marketing themselves, managing websites, printing artwork, answering customer enquiries, packaging orders and trying to reach new audiences.
Our aim is simple.
To build a platform that helps artists spend more time creating and less time managing the business behind it.
Whether through teaching workshops, selling original artwork, earning royalties from fine art prints, or sharing their creative journey, we want Paperdoll to create more opportunities for artists to build a sustainable creative career.
Our Mission
Paperdoll exists to create more opportunities for practising artists to earn from doing what they already do best.
We believe artists should have the opportunity to:
• Teach creative workshops
• Sell original artwork
• Earn royalties from fine art prints
• Share their creative knowledge
• Build their own audience
• Develop multiple income streams from one creative practice
Rather than asking artists to become marketers, website designers, photographers, salespeople and fulfilment centres, Paperdoll provides the platform that supports those opportunities.
Our Story
Paperdoll Art Studio opened in April 2024 with one small studio and a vision to make creativity more accessible.
Since then, Paperdoll has grown into seven operational studios, working alongside nine practising artists and welcoming thousands of customers through artist-led creative experiences.
Our splatter painting experiences have become the foundation of the business, building a loyal customer base, strong word-of-mouth recommendations and a growing online presence.
From January to July 2026 alone, the Paperdoll website welcomed more than 62,000 visitors from approximately 23,000 active users. Based on current growth, we expect to reach approximately 115,000–125,000 website views by the end of the year.
Everything we have built so far—the audience, the reputation, the systems and the community—is now becoming the foundation for something much bigger.

• Special events
• Community projects
The Paperdoll Curated Art Collection
The Paperdoll Curated Art Collection has been created to showcase carefully selected original artwork and museum-quality fine art prints by practising artists.
This is not an open marketplace where anyone can upload artwork.
Every artist and every artwork is individually reviewed to ensure it reflects the quality, originality and creative values of the Paperdoll Art Studio brand.
Our aim is to build a collection that customers trust and artists are proud to be part of.
Selected artists may have the opportunity to offer:
• Original artwork
• Limited-edition fine art prints
• Open-edition prints where appropriate
• Curated artist collections
• Framed and unframed artwork
As the collection grows, so will the opportunities available to our artists.
Why Join the Collection?
Joining the Paperdoll Curated Art Collection is about more than selling artwork.
It's about becoming part of a growing creative platform designed to support practising artists.
As a selected artist, you may benefit from:
• Exposure to Paperdoll's growing audience
• Professional presentation of your work
• The opportunity to sell original artwork
• Additional income through fine art print royalties
• Opportunities to teach workshops
• Features across Paperdoll's website and social media
• Artist interviews and creative content
• Future exhibitions and events
• Ongoing promotion of your work
Most importantly, you'll spend more time creating while Paperdoll Art Studio manages much of the commercial work behind the scenes.
Original Artwork Sales
Selected artists may submit original artwork for consideration.
If approved, the artwork will be professionally presented through Paperdoll and promoted to our audience.
Before any artwork is listed, both Paperdoll and the artist will agree in writing:
• The selling price
• Commission
• Delivery arrangements
• Payment terms
If an original artwork sells through Paperdoll:
Artist receives 65%
Paperdoll receives 35%
Paperdoll's commission reflects the work involved in successfully bringing artwork to market.
This includes:
• Curating artwork
• Professional presentation
• Product photography
• Website listing
• Marketing
• Paid advertising
• Customer enquiries
• Payment processing
• Sales administration
• Packaging guidance
• Customer support
• Ongoing promotion
Delivery charges will normally be handled separately unless agreed otherwise.
Fine Art Prints
Some artworks may also be selected for reproduction as museum-quality fine art prints.
This allows artists to continue earning from artwork they have already created.
For every approved print sold,
the artist receives a royalty of 15% of the unframed retail price.
Paperdoll manages:
• Professional printing
• Product photography
• Website listings
• Marketing
• Paid advertising
• Customer communication
• Payment processing
• Packaging
• Shipping
• Sales administration
For example:
A print sold for £150
Artist royalty:
£22.50
Your artwork doesn't have to earn just once.
Every eligible print sold generates another royalty payment.
The more prints that sell, the more royalty payments you receive.
Imagine one artwork selling 10 prints. That's 10 royalty payments from a single piece of work you've already completed.
Limited editions may also be hand numbered and signed by the artist, adding value for collectors while allowing artists to see exactly how many editions have been produced.
Paperdoll Conversations
Artists are more than the artwork they create.
Every artist has a story, a process and a unique perspective.
Through Paperdoll Conversations, we aim to introduce customers to the people behind the artwork.
This may include:
• Artist interviews
• Studio visits
• Creative journeys
• Behind-the-scenes videos
• Demonstrations
• Advice for aspiring artists
• New collection launches
This content helps customers connect with the artist, not just the artwork.
What Paperdoll Manages
Paperdoll takes responsibility for much of the commercial work involved in bringing artwork to market.
This includes:
• Curating artwork
• Professional presentation
• Website management
• Marketing
• Paid advertising
• Artist promotion
• Product photography
• Fine art print production
• Packaging
• Shipping coordination
• Payment processing
• Customer enquiries
• Sales administration

There are no upfront costs to the artist.
Paperdoll Art Studio invests in the systems, audience and marketing required to support the collection.
Copyright & Licensing
Artists always retain ownership of their original artwork and copyright.
Where artwork is approved for fine art prints, the artist grants Paperdoll permission to:
• Reproduce the approved artwork
• Display it on the Paperdoll website
• Promote it through agreed marketing channels
• Produce and sell approved fine art prints
Paperdoll does not take ownership of the artist's copyright.
Any exclusivity arrangements, edition sizes or licensing terms will always be agreed in writing before artwork is offered for sale.
Selling Through Other Channels
Artists remain completely independent.
You are free to continue selling your artwork through your own website, social media, exhibitions, galleries or studio unless an exclusivity agreement has been made separately.
If an original artwork listed with Paperdoll sells elsewhere, we simply ask that you let us know so we can remove it from our collection.
Our aim is to support your creative career—not to restrict it.
Payments
Artists will submit an invoice on the 24th of each month for eligible sales completed during that payment period.
Payments will be made on the 25th of each month, or the next working day if the 25th falls on a weekend or bank holiday.
An eligible sale is one that has:
• Been paid in full
• Been successfully fulfilled
• Not been cancelled
• Not been refunded
• Not been disputed
This process ensures transparency and fairness for both artists and customers.

If selected, we'll ask you to provide:
• A short artist biography
• A recent artist photograph

• Artwork titles
• Artwork sizes
• Materials used
• The story behind each artwork
• Selling prices for original artwork
• Confirmation that the work is original
• Permission to reproduce approved artwork as fine art prints
• Website and social media links (if applicable)
Where needed, Paperdoll may arrange professional photography or scanning to ensure your artwork is presented to the highest standard.
