This event will kick off registration for The Paper Year (more info below) and pre-sales for Helen’s new book, Weaving With Paper. Helen will speak about both, and then we will make our Book Weavings.

If you found your way to this page without signing up for the workshop, please register on Zoom.

You will need the following tools & materials:
  • 2 sheets of letter-size paper for the weaving (decorative, plain colors, or one of each). These should both be the weight of magazine pages.
  • A book to display your weaving on (optional)
  • Pencil
  • Craft knife
  • Cutting mat
  • Scissors
  • Bone folder
  • Ruler
  • White glue
  • Glue brush
  • Small piece of plastic (2” x 5”-ish) from a yogurt container, plastic placemat, notebook cover, etc. This will become a mini cutting mat (optional).

I will talk a bit about The Paper Year (TPY) before we begin the project. TPY is an annual subscription club – a year-long online class – featuring a new paper technique every month. Get inspired with video and written project instructions designed to spark ideas that keep you creating for the rest of the month; explore creative paper techniques, including origami, pop-ups, paper weaving, book arts, paper cutting and more; and join our growing community of paper lovers online to learn and share in a warm, encouraging, supportive, creative community.
