From photoshoots to supper clubs, fabulous product and book launches, to our very own festive market and workshop weekends; we get up to all kinds here at Paper Mill Studios. Here's a little of what we have been up to in recent months... 

The Marks & Spencer team have been popping by regularly to stream live from our loft kitchen. Catch M&S resident chef Chris Barber live from our Loft Studio for Sparks Live - or take a look at the library for past episodes.

Paper Mill Digital Events!

Here at Paper Mill Studios, our doors have been closed during lockdown but we have been working on a few initiatives to help support small businesses and our community through these times. 

We know there is loads going on out there with peeps making little films, but we were getting a little overwhelmed figuring out what and who to watch. So, we thought we would curate our own collection of films, made by the people that have always inspired us here at Paper Mill.

Keeping our community together, sharing the love and promoting them all at the same time. 

We have decided to run a series of online classes and workshops for people to get involved with - a virtual event if you will! 

As we run into countless weeks of isolation, we thought it would be a lovely opportunity to share stories and inspiration from some of our studio friends to help people stay motivated and inspired in isolation. We are currently running the videos on our Paper Mill Instagram account @PaperMillLondon and below for you to watch!

Paper Mill Sessions is a collaboration between our very own Sarah Robinson and her good friend Kate Sessions.
The Festive Sessions was a weekend of two halves. On Saturday 30 November the spaces became home to a Festive Market with the Hill Food Co serving delicious food and The Girl in the Cafe serving her amazing coffee! On Sunday 1 December the space transformed into a great feasting table curated by Anna Jones and a series of creative workshops throughout the morning and afternoon with artists and craftspeople.
