Paper Talk

About Paper Talk

The Evolution of Paper Talk… Our journey began in 2017 when the Paper Talk community took root as a Facebook group, providing a safe haven for paper flower enthusiasts to connect, share knowledge, and find like-minded artists from all corners of the world. As the community flourished, so did our opportunities to expand and collaborate. The establishment of The Paper Florists Collective led to inspiring multi-day workshops in Seattle and Toronto, attracting makers from across the globe. Soon after, our commitment to sharing knowledge grew even stronger, giving rise to a weekly podcast featuring leaders and artists from both within and beyond our community. Alongside this, we introduced online education programs like the Paper to Profits Program and Paper X Talk lecture series, dedicated to nurturing paper flower entrepreneurs. Our continuous growth prompted the natural evolution of our name, moving from The Paper Florists Collective to the unified identity of Paper Talk across all platforms. In 2023, Sara joined us as a new co-host alongside Quynh and Jessie. Throughout these changes, our unwavering mission remains steadfast: to foster creativity, connections, and growth as artists, makers, and entrepreneurs, united by the love for paper flowers. Join us as we continue to share ideas, stories, and inspire a vibrant community of creatives.

Ep 201: Rapid-Fire Q&A: Paychecks, Paper Sources, and Permission to Be an Artist

Published 8 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And I mean, just like you said, Quinn, I wish I did it earlier. Like, I would have been so much better. Right? Yeah. All right. So the next question is actually just for Jessie. Do you think you have to be artsy to be a paper flower artist? This is such an interesting question because I think, Quinn, you just touched upon that in terms of experience. I mean, I don't think you need to have a ton of art experience to be a paper flower artist or any artist. I think being an artist is just an expression of yourself. And that can be expressed in any way. And no one should define what is fine art and what's art and what's not art. […]
