Paper Folios: Beautiful Storage for Everyday Life

Create a place for the fragments of daily life—and make the storage as meaningful as what it holds.

In this 90-minute class, you will create hand-assembled paper folios designed to collect and organize the small papers that accumulate in daily life—receipts, notes, lists, clippings, reminders, and ideas.

Using paper, decorative materials, and simple construction techniques, we will create folios that are both practical and expressive. Equal parts stationery object and organizational tool, these pieces bring intention and beauty to the everyday act of keeping things together.

All supplies are included, along with a generous selection of papers, decorative elements, and ephemera. Materials will be provided in quantities beyond what is needed in class so students leave with extra pieces to continue making and adapting the format at home.

No prior experience is necessary—only an interest in paper, process, and creating objects that are as useful as they are beautiful.
