For schools & creative partners
Collaborate with Once on Paper to turn children’s drawings and handwriting into navy embroidered keepsakes. The individual Swiss keepsake is unframed; group specifications are agreed separately.
A classroom celebration. A workshop’s last drawing. A family’s little memory. Let’s discuss a thoughtful way to bring it home.
Discuss a collaborationA drawing activity can become a family gift: for Mother’s or Father’s Day, the end of the year, or a little one’s leaving milestone. Introduce the idea to parents, who can order individually; there is no need to purchase stock.
Bring a family drawing activity into the everyday rhythm of your centre. Invite parents to preserve those little lines for a celebration or farewell, with individual parent-paid orders rather than stock for the centre.
First handwriting, classroom artwork, family celebrations and leaving-school memories can all find a lasting home in thread. Particularly suited to private and international school communities, and warmly open to every school.
Offer an optional keepsake after a drawing workshop. The piece begins with the child’s actual artwork, keeping its individual character rather than replacing it with a template.
Invite clients to add a child’s drawing as a complementary keepsake alongside a family session package. We embroider the drawing or handwriting—not a photographic portrait.
You introduce the idea; each family prepares its own Swiss keepsake with the studio. Individual orders are not open yet; families can join the waiting list to hear when they open. For schools, direct parent submission is recommended. Your organisation need not buy stock.
Join the waiting listOne contact brings together the project. We agree the quantity, permissions, quote and timing together, with optional consolidated delivery subject to quote.
We will agree a simple way to coordinate your families and begin with a pilot that suits your community.
Share your organisation, occasion and approximate scale. No obligation or payment is involved in an enquiry.
Together we confirm scope, quote and timing before you decide to proceed.
Families upload directly through individual requests, or the institution shares artwork only with parent or guardian permission. No child names or photographs are needed in this enquiry.
Once the commission is agreed, the studio makes the keepsakes in navy thread, with any group presentation details agreed separately. Any public display requires separate express permission.
A first conversation
Parents place individual keepsake orders directly once checkout opens; it is currently unavailable. For a coordinated group, we discuss who places and pays for the order before anything is confirmed. Sending an enquiry costs nothing.
Yes—tell us your idea and approximate scale. We can discuss a small pilot, its scope and timing before you decide.
Each project is quoted individually, based on the artwork, number of keepsakes and delivery arrangements. Tell us what you have in mind and we will explore a suitable starting point.
Parents submitting directly confirm their right to share the artwork. An institution may share it only with parent or guardian permission. Keep unnecessary child information out of enquiries. Public display needs separate, express permission.
You are welcome to discuss your project with us, but for now we ship keepsakes only within Switzerland. International school communities in Switzerland are warmly welcome; we do not currently offer delivery abroad.
This collaboration is for actual children’s drawings and handwriting. A family photographer can offer those as a complementary keepsake; we do not convert photographic portraits.
