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! And YOU can receive your surprise bundle by making a contribution of $100. Everyone who “spins” wins a bundle of handmade paper!
The Wheel of Fortune drawing will take place on July 17. Every contribution receives an amazing surprise bundle of paper from one of our papermakers. Get your bundle by clicking on the Paypal button below. (If you do not have a Paypal account, you can participate by calling us at 651-447-7143.)
Don’t hesitate — make your contribution now to secure a “spin” of the Paper Wheel of Fortune. Once we have sold as many Wheel of Fortune “spins” as we have donations, that’s it. We’ll email you right after July 17 to let you know whose paper you won, and the papermaker will mail out your bundle of paper by July 31.
[100% of proceeds from ticket 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.]
