Where everything is handmade…
I just love crafting. I have met new friends and bonded over crafts and this made it more fun.
I totally forgot to share about the National Bookstore Color and Calligraphy Fair Davao last year. I meant to post this on the same date (Jan. 27-28) as it happened last year but I got busy painting my sister’s bag and doing the payroll for Yellow Hauz before I leave Vancouver. So, here’s a year and …
Since I’m such a bad blogger… I am still trying to catch up some long overdue posts. Just a heads up, for the next few months, you’ll be reading throwback of my projects, collabs and everything in between. So, back in July of last year, I had a collab with Chimes for the launch of …
The last time I wrote about this was few years ago. We turned 3 and 4 then. Now, it’s Artisan Paperie‘s 8th Anniversary. 8 years! I’ve been in the creative business, officially. When I had the courage in opening a design studio and craft shop 8 years ago. Wow! Can you believe that? I’m still having a hard time believing it. Every year, …
This is me trying my very best to document anything related to my creative process or activities through this blog. So, for me to do this, I figure out I’d work from 10 to 1 instead of the other way around. It seemed to work for me as it is easier to remember and talk …
Summer is almost over… yes, I know it’s a bummer. Some schools start this Monday, some are extended until August. Either way if you’re looking for something to do or itching to learn a new hobby, you might want to join us here. Davao Workshop (organised by two lovely ladies, Lyn and Lynn), have a 1-day …
I’ve been writing letters since I was young and every time I received one, it makes me feel really happy and special. I learned it from my Ninang Lisa who lives in the States. She would send me cards during my birthday or just because and I’d do the same thing to her. Since then, I …
I’ve been a lousy blogger lately. Pretty sure you’re not surprise about that. My laptop is still under repair so it’s hard to work without all my files. Buying a new one is not even an option. Well, simply because I cannot afford it. So, I need to extend more patience and dealing with whatever tool I …
I know some of you have been seeing a lot about calligraphy on your feed. Either from the people you follow for inspiration or from your friends. I’ve been asked a lot about a workshop for this, but I was a bit hesitant because I’m not sure if I’ll be able to translate what I’ve learned into words. …
I’m so excited to share with you my first craft gig this year. It’s Color and Calligraphy Fair with National Bookstore. This is so exciting because I’ve been drooling over their photos on instagram: @iam_artisan when they had this in Manila and Cebu. And now their doing it in Davao, woohoo! The fair is about showcasing …
So, the first DJ workshop collaboration of Artisan Paperie, Wacky Masbad and Jik Sinfuego (Jack Ripper) happened two weeks ago. Truth be told, I was nervous about this workshop. I’ve done workshops a lot of times already, but this one’s a bit different. For one, we needed to rent a lot of equipment. Second, I have no idea about …
If you remember, few weeks before Kadayawan, I posted about another workshop collaboration. This time, I’m doing it with my boyfriend, Wacky, and it’s a DJ workshop. After all the events you’ve attended last weekend, pretty sure you’ve seen and heard how music can fuel up the mood, yes? Let’s turn the table around, instead you dancing and listening …
I had a quick and backpacker kind of trip in Manila few weekends ago. It was one for the books. Aside from catching up with good friends, I also learned new creative things. I attended workshops of leather making, brass jewelry and an art play date. The art play date was when I stayed with Airees. And oh my …
Last March, Artisan Paperie collaborated with Jad for a watercolour workshop. It’s my first time to collaborate with a Davao artist and it was really fun. I don’t know why I didn’t do this before. I love how Jad was really well prepared for it. Let me share how the workshop went… We held the workshop …
For those who weren’t able to attend last watercolour workshop, do not sigh because we’re bringing it back again this August. Jad and I are collaborating again for another basic watercolour workshop. Yay! Register here, so we can reserve your slot. Everything will be provided. Just bring yourself or a friend so it will be …
If you remember, last January we had Brush Lettering workshop with Anina Rubio. It was a two-day workshop and the second day was Floral Type. It’s a basic watercolour of florals and typography in one. This one was jam-packed that I had to moved our location at the outdoor area of Yellow Hauz. I was a bit worried at …
