It was 30 years ago in 1982  that The Japanese Paper Place first opened its doors at 966 Queen Street West in Toronto. To celebrate these 30 eventful years, we invite you to an Open House at our warehouse on June 7 2012 from 2:00-9:30 pm.  Here’s a tasting of the fun and learning that will be on tap:

• Add your marks with sumi ink on the wide paper wrapping our building.
• See the exhibition Under 30 at 30 or concurrent exhibitions using washi
• Buy some vintage papers.
• Purchase artworks on washi.
• Tour the pop-up studios of seasoned users of washi as they work  for the day on a wide range of interesting media – papercuts, sculpture, encaustic monoprints, watercolour woodblock and much more – in our space.
• Stay for memories, inspiration and birthday cake in the evening.
• Participate in a raffle of small artworks and Japanese paper, all proceeds to Inner City Angels. Tickets $4.00 or 4 for $10.00

Join us in the coming weeks as we fill in more details about these exciting events, and we hope to see you there!
