A space to be with your people (and find them).

Papercrafternoons are gentle, come-as-you-are gatherings where writers and readers connect—not just with glue and scissors, but with each other.

Think of it like crafting with a writing group—but with no pressure to write.

Just a relaxed, friendly space where you can chat about books, share writing resources, talk shop (or not), and meet fellow creatives. All while making something beautiful (or at least creative) with your hands.

Papercrafternoons aren’t exactly classes with formal instruction, and they’re not solely social events. They’re that sweet spot in-between, where your hands stay busy and your heart gets fed.

At Papercrafternoons, you’ll
-Meet other writers and readers in a no-pressure, welcoming space
-Learn a new paper craft (and a cool new skill!)
-Share writing tips, book recs, and literary gossip
-Leave with something beautiful you made yourself
