The Sunday Paper #341
December 6, 2020
Congratulations to Gill Watson, the winner of last week’s Giveaway. Gill wins a free subscription to The Paper Year Annual PDF plan.
Christine Higgins lives in Readfield Maine, where she makes handmade paper art in her unheated garage in the summer and fall. She is also a member of Circling the Square Press in Gardiner, Maine, where she enjoys printmaking processes year round. She sometimes combines her prints and artist made papers.
Because the pandemic limited large group gatherings during the summer of 2020, Serena Sanborn, of “Waterville Creates” visited many Maine artists, filming them in their working environments. This video shows several examples of Higgin’s papermaking processes.
Save the date & register! I’m hosting an online event to kick off The Paper Year 2021 on January 3rd at noon my time. This is a free event and is open to anyone (please spread the word to your paper-loving friends around the globe). I’ve designed this special pop-up lantern that I’m going to teach you to make – you’ll receive a list of the basic supplies you need when you register. You will also learn all about The Paper Year, my new online subscription club featuring a paper project every month.
Here’s to a brighter year ahead!

Christine Higgins’ studio is more than an” unheated garage”. It’s a beautiful structure. Her website is gorgeous and her creativity is inspiring. Thank you for introducing her to us.
Thanks, Penny. I agree… those were Christine’s own words :).
