About Paperganza
Welcome to Paperganza, an extraordinary three-day crafting celebration brought to you by the creative minds behind Craft Roulette and Pear Blossom Press. Born from our passionate crafting community and the infectious energy of our live shows, Paperganza transforms the magic of Craft Roulette into an immersive, in-person experience.
Our Vision
Paperganza isn't just another crafting event – it's a celebration of creativity, community, and crafting excellence. We've carefully designed every aspect of this three-day experience to bring together the spontaneous joy of our live Craft Roulette shows with focused learning opportunities from industry leaders, all while fostering meaningful connections within our crafting community.
The Experience
Your crafting journey takes place in our innovative "pod" system – intimate eight-person crafting stations thoughtfully designed to maximize both workspace and social interaction. Each pod becomes a crafter's home base throughout the weekend, where you'll not only create beautiful projects but also forge lasting friendships.
The weekend unfolds with a perfect blend of structured learning and creative freedom. Start your mornings with expert-led classes from renowned instructors like Karen Burniston, Tanya Kostynuk, Libby Hickson, and the dynamic duo of Taniesa Vlasak and Amanda Stevens. Then, enjoy open crafting time to explore your creativity at your own pace.
Special Events
The highlight of Paperganza includes an exclusive live taping of Craft Roulette on Friday night – bringing our beloved show's energy and spontaneity to life before your eyes. Saturday evening transforms into an enchanting experience with our "In Revue: Mystery Gala Dinner," featuring full dinner service and entertainment that will keep you guessing and smiling throughout the night.
Location & Amenities
Located just minutes from Kansas City International Airport (KCI), our venue offers the perfect blend of convenience and comfort. From morning coffee and pastries to gourmet lunches and our elaborate Saturday night dinner service, we've ensured every detail contributes to an unforgettable experience.
