Note:
PaperWorks strives to make the most of our monthly meetings by limiting our announcements during the business portion, thus giving time for members during the break to visit our tables and gather information, sign up for classes, and re-connect with others.
If you have an announcement, you are encouraged to send it to enews
[email protected]
by the 25th of the month.
Next up:
March 8, 2018 speaker - Jane Herrick
Whether it’s found objects in the natural environment or man-made materials, my goal is to allow the piece to develop, given the characteristics of the materials and the influences from my environment.

From September through May, PaperWorks meetings are held on the second Thursday of the month at St. Philips in the Hills Church, East Murphey Gallery. PaperWorks meetings are open to members, guests and the public at no charge. Summer meeting times and locations vary. Directions to St. Philips and updates at

Journal
The next Paperworks Journal will explore digital printing and printing on demand. We are looking for your experiences with digital services such as spoonflower, blurb, Lulu, picaboo, etc. Were you happy with your results? What were the pros and cons of the service that you used?
Do you have any tips and tricks, or recommendations? Is there a really unique product out there we should know about? How do you use print on demand services - travel books, portfolios, or something else?

Janet Windsor combines her graphic design skills with stitching to create magnificent fiber artwork. Whether it be hand dyed or commercial fabric, Windsor masterfully combines color to depict scenes such as a desert sunrise, monsoon rainstorm, or a cactus in bloom. Although relatively new to Tucson, her work gives the sense that she is no stranger to the Sonoran Desert.
