(By Camille).

I like an event where ‘general milling’ and ‘making’ constitute the main part of the schedule.

Papercamp 2 happened on Saturday and I was there. It was described as ‘primary school for adults’, possibly something to do with the large number of grown-up men walking around with scissors and bits of tape stuck to their shoe (I even had to leave early because my mum came to get me). The words ‘art therapy’, ‘nursing home’ and ‘low security wing’ were also heard (via @moleitau).

I went there to show a couple of paper-based projects to paper afficionados (Harima-san’s amazing Asahi Shimbun and our collaboration with Wallpaper Magazine.  He couldn’t be there so I made a Harima-shaped cardboard cutout) but mainly to mill around, talk to pretty inspiring people, and make.

There was a Fab Lab on a budget (cardboard boxes and stickers by Stuart Bannock). Matt Brown and Matt Jones from Berg talked about paper AR. Jane Audas who writes Shelf Appeal showed an example of a really hot egg box design from Sainsbury’s and a very pretty fold-away elephant by George Him.

I had to run but heard that Laura Dickinson’s paper shapes were pretty impressive. Read more about her and everyone else here.

Here’s a drawing I made. I call it ‘The Main Bits From Memory’.

Look at these pictures and those.  We’ll hopefully see each other at the next one.
