I’m super excited to be planning my next 6-week online class, Paper Weaving. A fun part of the planning is picking out the papers for the class projects (all of the papers you see in the photo still have to be woven, except for the one image in the top row). I love discovering new papers for projects, and will be offering an optional custom paper pack so that class participants can try them out, too. Registration opens in the new year and class runs Feb 7 – March 14. Feel free to send me a note – helen@helenhiebertstudio.com – if you’d like to be notified when registration opens (and of course, you’ll read about it here too)!

I’ve facilitated a lantern making workshop as part of Vail’s Paper Lantern Project for the last few years at the Vail Public Library. This year was as busy as ever. Families come off the slopes to make a little light to celebrate the winter solstice and we end with a lantern walk through Vail Village led by Santa and Ralph, the tallest elf!

A blog reader turned me onto this fascinating work by Paige Smith, who draws inspiration from quiet, modest, tucked away spaces: the cracks in between bricks, the grating of a drain, the inside of a pipe and interior of a derelict phone booth. Urban Geodes are created either out of hand cut and folded paper or individually cast resin and configured seamlessly to fit into spaces that inspire her.

I am inspired by your blog and am loving getting connected with different artists and authors.
One of my favourite children’s books which uses paper to make incredible illustrations is
The Treasure Box by Margaret Wild
