The Paper Year All-In Plan Survey - Helen Hiebert Studio

Projects

How’s the monthly pace of the program?

Just right
Too fast
Too slow

How many projects have you created so far this year?

1-3
4-6
All of them

How do you approach the projects?

I rely mostly on the videos
I rely mostly on the pdfs
I use the videos and pdfs in tandem
It depends on the project

In general, do you find the instructions easy to follow?

Yes
No

If no, please tell me what would improve the instructions for you:

Do you have other areas of interest in creating with paper that we haven’t explored yet and aren’t on this year’s project list? If so, please fill me in!

It’s been suggested that we add a challenge to our monthly activities. For example, adding a theme that could help focus your work or give you another level to explore the monthly project. Would you be interested in that?

Do you have anything else to add about our monthly projects?

Supplies

How do you source your supplies?

I have supplies on hand
I order what Helen suggests
I use some of my supplies and order some things that Helen suggests
I just wing it

Is there anything I can do to make sourcing supplies simpler for you?

Someone suggested that a supply swap between members might be fun. Does that interest you at all?

Yes
No

Community

Do you interact in the online classroom on Ruzuku?

Yes, I post images, comment, and ask questions
I don’t interact, but I follow the discussions
I don’t participate or follow discussions in the online classroom

If you don’t interact or follow the discussions, what’s holding you back? Is there something we could do that would make it more appealing?

How many monthly Zoom meetings have you attended?

1-3
4-6
All of them
None of them

If none, is that due to a scheduling or technology issue? Or something else?

Do you watch the replays?

Yes
No

Are you a member of The Paper Year Facebook Group?

Yes
No

Are you on instagram?

Yes
No

I’m thinking about adding more community activities to our program, like a monthly maker night (an online craft party/social on Zoom) and more live online workshops. Do either of these ideas excite you? I’m totally open to suggestions if you’re willing to share any other ideas.

Is there anything else you'd like to add about our community?

Motivation/Resources

One of my main goals with The Paper Year (and Twelve Months of Paper before it) is to help artists establish a creative practice. A big part of that is motivation. Do you feel our program is helping you get creatively motivated? I’d really love to hear your thoughts about this!

Have you explored our resource library (past projects in the classroom) and The Paper Advisor, my free Ruzuku section with paper tips, sources, and ideas?

Yes
No

What draws you to The Paper Year?

Learning new skills
Being in a likeminded community
Making gifts for friends
Dedicating a time each month to creativity

Beyond our monthly projects, do you have interest in exploring things like getting motivated, showing or selling your work?

You're almost done!

Which plan are you enrolled in?

All-In Annual (I paid for the year)
All-In Monthly (I pay by the month)

At this point, are you planning to continue for another year?

Yes
Not sure
No

If no or not sure, please share your thoughts.

Do you have additional feedback about our program or feel something is missing? If so, please tell!
