Christopher James has spent the majority of his adult life in Lincoln, Nebraska. While he calls Nebraska home, most are surprised and appalled to learn that he is not a fan of football, Nebraska’s unofficial religion. 20-plus years ago, Christopher discovered the art of making paper by hand. His love for the craft inspired him to start Porridge Papers, a handmade paper mill and letterpress studio. While most of his waking hours are spent at his mill, his family keeps the rest of his time busy. His wife, Ellen, daughters Anika and Genevieve, cats Widget and Maude, and Milo the dog are more than a handful. Recently, he has begun renovating his 106-year-old house with his wife and enjoys some good craft beers while swinging a sledgehammer.
