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.

Hey all, quick reminder, Paper Shop is open Saturday the 27th (tomorrow!), from 12-4. I'll have a few things set up for a drawing session as well, from 10-12. There's a lovely new batch of A5 sheets - made from a little bit of everything (full ingredients list tomorrow). Don't forget you can send us a postcard anytime, use the address on the poster. And one more thing, there are A5 sheets available for the A5 Open exhibition in November. Pick one up tomorrow. I'll post a couple more collection days next week, on Sunday.

Quick reminder all, you can pop on today Friday the 19th) until 3 to collect a sheet of handmade paper for the A5 Open exhibition. Tomorrow there's a drawing session in the morning 10-12, and Paper Shop 12-4. Sunday I'll be at Union Street Party 12-3 doing paper making demos.

At the moment, the sun is streaming in, and it's lovely down here in Stonehouse. Paper Shop is open until 4, so pop in if you're out & about. Or make a special trip. I'll be messing with my new hanging display, which probably had a previous life as some sort of cupboard shelf, and came to me from a friend.

Hey all, it's been awhile since we had an open call exhibition at RAAY (or any sort of exhibition, for that matter), and we figured it's time to end that drought with the MPH A5 Open. MPH (Matt's Paper Hog), is my papermaking setup at RAAY, and I've made 40 sheets of what I think is pretty gorgeous paper. It's soft, made of cotton & lokta fibres, and I think you'll like working with it (there's a detailed description of the recipe & sheet properties with the second photo). So, what you have to do is come to RAAY and collect a sheet of paper, then make art with it, then bring it back, and then when all the work is in, we'll have a little exhibition. Fun, right? We hope so. The poster has collection dates listed, and the deadline to return work. If you can't come to RAAY, I can mail a sheet to you, but if you can come collect, please do (saves me a heap of postage). Any questions, DM me here, or email: mrt@evanonrev.co.uk
