Rachel Hazell's PaperLove e-Course

Get creative this fall via PaperLove, an introductory e-course on bookbinding, typography, mail art, origami, collage and more. Led by paper artist and bookbinder Rachel Hazell of Edinburgh, Scotland, the autumn session will launch on Monday, October 5. No matter where you live, you can join in to develop your skills and creativity through the medium of paper.

Lessons will unfold over five weeks and include step-by-step instruction for creating more than twenty paper projects using easily available resources. The course offers plenty of opportunity to expand your interests while being encouraged to discover new ones.

The lessons are a combination of video tutorials, downloadable PDF instructions and photographs. Each week has a theme: Paper, Collage, Words, Books, and Mail. Rachel provides inspiration to help you find the creative ideas and techniques to design and make your projects.

The course will have its own private community on Facebook where you can post your ideas and photographs, and enjoy interacting with other participants from around the world who share your enthusiasm for paper.

Rachel, who is an expert bookbinder (examples above of her lovely recent work) sent over this sampler of projects made by previous PaperLove students.
