“This was so much fun!! I was invited by a friend and had no idea what “paper art” was. Chris, the artist-owner, was great. If you want to do something fun, relaxing, and probably not at all like your day-job, come spend a couple of hours playing here!”

“I found Chris and this lovely hidden treasure called PaperScape Artworks this past summer. Since then, I have taken several of her classes. Along with being an incredibly talented artist, and fun to be with, Chris is an excellent teacher. Her classes are great and they’re affordable. I’ve made note cards, journals and recently a beautiful wedding gift! Her studio is a great place to shop for those one of a kind gifts and I’m hoping to order one of her custom designs. I’ve taken so many different art classes, but I am hooked on paper making with Chris.”

“I have taken several paper making lessons with Chris in her wonderful studio. I immediately fell in love with the versatility of paper to create wonderful collage, stationary, and fine art.

“When I am at the studio I feel free to create in any way that I choose. Learning to make paper is fun and rewarding.

“Chris is a terrific instructor. She quietly guides you and also gives you what you need in the paper making process. She allows you to experiment with pressed flowers, fibers and color.

“Because I am an artist with medical limitations which has made painting impossible, I found that I could create with paper—and that has made me feel alive again. Thank you, Chris!
