Paper chase
Select fine art cards, papers, journals and pads are marked down 20 percent this month at KOZO Fine Art Materials, the Baker neighborhood art supply store and gallery that’s chockablock with offbeat holiday gift and decorating prospects. KOZO is run by master printer and paper artist Patricia Branstead. She talks with customers about using decorative paper as wall art, a design element or for extra special gift-wrapping. The store, at 10 E. Ellsworth Ave., offers papermaking classes and has launched a First Friday series. The holiday exhibit beginning Dec. 7 spotlights work by Bonnie Ferrill Roman, Kimberly MacArthur Graham and Kristin Woodsbury. Details at or call 303-733-2730 or 866-624-0498.
