The Paper Florists Collective Podcast

After our return from our first ever Masterclass, it became obvious to us that there was a strong desire amongst the attendees that they wanted to learn more about each other and share the joys and frustration of their paper flower journey; however, they had no platform, other than The Paper Florist Facebook Group, to do this. While The Paper Florist Facebook Group is a wonderful place to share our art and quickly talk techniques without judgment, we felt we needed another platform that would allow us to engage with our members on a more intimate and personal level.
To address this need, we decided to start a podcast so we could engage directly with members and celebrate their beautiful paper flower making through thoughtful and engaging discussions on a monthly basis.
Stay tuned for our first Artist Spotlight feature and podcast in celebration of #internationalpaperflowerday!

We’ve been featured on Carte Fini’s blog! Mike, the owner of Carte Fini, has written a fantastic piece on his experience at our Masterclass last month in Monroe, Washington. If you don’t know who Mike is or what Carte Fini is, let us tell you: they’re the primary distributor of Italian crepe paper in North America. They carry 60 g, 140g, 160g, 180g and metallic crepe paper. They were also a vendor and sponsor at our Masterclass.
If you have a chance, head on over to our favourite paper supplier and read his experience at the Masterclass.
International Paper Flower Day
If you’d like to participate, you can use the hashtag #internationalpaperflowerday. Feel free to post a photo of new work, an all-time favorite bloom or bouquet, a maker portrait, or a story about flower making, just to name just a few possibilities.
Also, if this sounds fun, please spread the word! This isn’t just for professional flower makers, but also for anyone who’s ever swooned over a well-crafted bloom or had a blast gluing tissue paper petals around a popsicle stick in elementary school....
