My Colorado Paper Retreat
The Sunday Paper #295
January 19, 2020
Paper of the Week: Red Cliff Paper Retreat
Registration is now open and you are invited to my studio in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains for the 7th Annual Red Cliff Paper Retreat! The 2020 Retreat theme is Woven Paper: Books/Vessels/Lighting. Come experience a variety of papers that can be made by hand, cut, folded, stitched and woven to create books, wall hangings, sculpture, lighting and more. Explore these ideas as you create unique paper objects with a dozen like-minded creatives.
Come for 3 days: August 29 – 31 or Stay for 5 Days: August 29 – September 2. I expect both retreats to fill within the next couple of months, so register soon, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Someone in my Weave Through Winter online class turned me onto the amazing work of Hollie Chastain. Wowza! And btw, my students are doing amazing work too. I’ll share some of it soon.
Shinjuku is a ward in Tokyo and home to the busiest train station in the world. We rendezvoused with our son there, and it took us awhile to figure out how to meet up! A Japanese man has created a model of Shinjuku in paper!
