Kathryn Willis

Scrapbooking &
Paper Craft Artist

Kathryn has loved to create since Kindergarten, she has turned that passion away from finger painting and now spends her time on Paper Crafts.

She first discovered scrapbooking at age 12 after attending a mother/daughter Creative Memories class, then when planning her own wedding she dove back into scrapbooking with a vengeance. Along the way, she discovered a love for paper arts of all kinds and now can be found covered in glue and ink a lot of the time.

When not busy being a mum Kathryn runs regular workshops in Bendigo and surrounds, teaching Scrapbooking and Card making techniques so everyone can preserve their memories for future generations and share handmade kindness through paper crafting.

While Kathryn is a Creative Memories Advisor, she uses materials and tools from the spectrum of the paper craft and scrapbooking world to create truly unique one of a kind layouts and designs.

Really enjoyed this workshop. Kathryn took us through a number of techniques for card making and was generous in sharing her knowledge and time. It was great for a beginner to work out which techniques appealed to me…This is the second workshop I have attended at the Old Auction House in Kyneton and I highly recommend it and this workshop.
