Hey everybody, Paper Shop this week is Saturday, the 15th, from 11-4. Also, if you took away a sheet of A5 handmade paper for the A5 Open, Saturday is your last chance to drop your finished work. I'm still waiting on a few works to come in, so I've delayed the exhibition for a week - it'll be hung and ready to open next Thursday, the 20th. See the poster for all the exhibition dates and note that Paper Shop will be open during the exhibition hours. Also I've included shop days in December - there will be cards, gift tags, hand-stamped sheets of giftwrap made from old book pages, and a roomful of paper to browse. Paper Shop is upstairs at RAAY (follow the signs & bring cash). Unfortunately we're not wheelchair accessible, so if stairs are a barrier, get in touch and we'll try & work out an alternative way for you experience the shop.

Such a gorgeous sunny morning, it seemed like taking a few photos is the thing to do.There's some of the outside of the building bathed in autumn sunshine, and a few inside as well. The staircase with RAAY logo, the yoga studio, set up for this morning's Plymouth Yoga Teachers Support and Sharing group, and then upstairs to Paper Shop. To say we're basking in this morning is just about right.

Late night, last minute posting is what's on my mind! Hey all, today (Saturday the 8th), Paper Shop is open at RAAY from 11-4. Come along and see what's in the shop - anything new? Yes, some old (at least as old as me, so definitely vintage) looseleaf school paper, some old (probably older than me) numbered/indexed sheets from a HMSO notebook, and a lot more. As usual, plenty of handmade paper, and Apple cards!

Hey all, Paper Shop this week is on the road - today! - at the All Ways Apples Festival at Market Hall in Devonport. I've got a whole set of limited edition, apple themed cards for the event, and a new blank book, as well as the usual handmade paper and other paper-y treats. The festivall runs from 11-4, come along for many scrumptios reasons, not just me. Then there's a regular shop day at RAAY on Friday, 12-4. On Saturday I'll be around in case you want to drop off a piece of work for the A5 Open, but remember, the deadline has been extended for a week, so you have until the 8th to complete your masterpiece.

Hey all, Paper Shop this week is Saturday, the 25th, from 11-4. Come on down and see what's in the shop. I've been organising (with my eye on doing an inventory-yikes!), and the card display is looking better than it has all summer. In addition to cards and envelopes, there's handmade paper, recycled paper, and other paper delights. Follow the signs upstairs, and remember to bring cash.

These past few days with such dry weather, we've been diligently working to get the woodwork at the front of RAAY tidied up and painted so it'll be beeyootiful like the rest of the newly renovated building, and also protected from the weather as we head into winter/wet. The crowning achievement of this burst of effort has to be the new frame around the glass panes over the door. Our lovely friend Arthur made a new oak frame by hand, using a piece of timber he got from a friend in Penryn, and yesterday we installed the new frame, pinned the glass in, and then after Arthur left, Nic and I had a race to see who could putty their pane completely first. It was a tie, more or less. So, all that remains after the putty cures is another swipe of paint. Here's a before/after set.

Hey all, Shop Day this week is tomorrow, Saturday the 18th, from 10-4. If you turn up between 10 and 12, I'll have some drawing stuff laid out, so stay and have a draw! Also, there's still time to collect a sheet of paper for the A5 Open - deadline's not until the 1st of November. What's the A5 Open? It's an open call exhibition - I give you an A5 sheet of handmade paper, you artify it, bring it back by November 1st, and then there's an exhibition of all the glorious results. I'll post another reminder with some more details later today.

Hey all, this week Paper Shop open hours are spread over Friday and Saturday. Friday, I'll be in for a couple of hours in the afternoon, and that's because Saturday I'll be out for a couple of hours at lunchtime, doing a community litter pick. Bear that in mind if you're planning a visit. what's new? How about bright red paper, the colour of those supermarket price labels! It's fab, it's designed for laser printers but I put it through my inkjet, and the bleed makes it look a little like a photocopy, which is very desirable. The sheets are 100gsm, A3, and I suspect they're perfect for any number of collage/zine projects.

Hey all, last minute promo going out, and if there was ever proof I need to plan my social media marketing better, I've just had a conversation with a potential customer about open hours this week! So, note to self-do marketing better! I'm in today (Friday 3rd) until 12, then Saturday MPH is on the move, up to The Box to take part in the Plymouth Community History Festival (thanks WonderZoo, for booking me!), from 10-4. I'll have paper to buy, and some RAAY Artefacts to look at as well. Full calendar for October, plus some reminders of upcoming stuff, coming on Sunday.
