PAPERMANCY: Chapter One

The art and practice of thinking with your hands.

Where Craft Meets Cognition

Papermancy is a paper-based journaling and reflection system for tactile thinkers and creative minds. It’s where sensory play meets structure — a practice that helps you externalize thought, focus gently, and find meaning in the physical act of making.


Each Papermancy kit consists of

  • A Codex: a small zine notebook,
  • A Grimoire: a medium notebook,
  • A Bookcharm: more than a bookmark...,
  • A Fragmentorium: what some would call an "ephemera folder" —

What sets this course apart from other craft journal courses is that we aren't just making books, we're creating rituals and workings, a portable paper ecology that evolves with your ideas and needs.


You don’t fill these pages; you work within them, like a spell, or a conversation.

Four Weeks to a Living Paper Practice**

Papermancy: Chapter One is designed to be a four-part online experience in analog creativity and cognitive ritual.


There will be weekly livestreams both to go over the material and answer questions, of course.


But time is subjective -- why shouldn't Papermancy be?

All essential course material can be accessed through modular video lessons and articles available in the course.


By the end of the four weeks, you’ll learn how to design and use your own tactile journaling system through binding, reflection, collage, and sensory design.


You’ll create your own small ecosystem of paper tools, with initial exercises like the "InkTrace" and "Dawnlines," created and facilitated by Gray.


Yes, at the end you’ll have a set of handmade tools — but more importantly, you'll have a repeatable practice of finding meaning by through the physical act of making, writing, drawing.
