The Handmade Paper Wheel of Fortune is an exciting new fundraiser in support of Hand Papermaking.
For this event, we asked contemporary papermakers and paper artists across the U.S. and around the world to donate bundles of 10-12 sheets of medium-sized handmade and/or hand-decorated paper. We received more than 60 pledges of papers of all sorts: Elegant Western-style papers, beautiful Japanese, Thai, and other traditional papers of Asia, experimental papers made from rare and unusual natural fibers, dyed and colored papers, hand-decorated papers, and much more!
Please note: The Wheel of Fortune chances have SOLD OUT. We apologize if you missed your chance to win — better luck next year!
The Wheel of Fortune drawing will take place on July 17. Every person who contributed to this fundraiser will receives an amazing surprise bundle of paper from one of our papermakers. We will email you soon about the paper you won, and all paper bundles will be mailed out by early August. Thank you to everyone who participated!
[100% of proceeds from Wheel of Fortune sales will go to supporting Hand Papermaking’s ongoing operations and programs, including Hand Papermaking magazine, Hand Papermaking Newsletter, our curated & thematic Portfolios of handmade paper, our free web and social media resources, and our newly established Black Writers Fellowship.]
