Origami

the prettiest paper pot

 

Sue Leslie, of AThousandPaperWishes will be folding paper for your delight at the Meet the Makers Market, Hebden Bridge Town Hall October 5th. Sue used to be a Maths teacher (but despite this she's not at all scary) and has made things all her life.  Textiles was her thing, but these days, especially since she made the decorations for her daughter's wedding, paper is inspiring her more and more.  From handmade Thai paper to the pages of the Beano, Financial Times, old books and maps she can't resist folding, twisting and sculpting paper....

Working in a large room in her basement Sue makes an amazing array of objects - roses, butterflies, earrings and bracelets, cards and boxes.  You can buy her work at Spirals and Heartgallery in Hebden Bridge...or come along to meet Sue and learn how to make a beautiful little paper box
