SUPPORT THE PROJECT as we Create a A LIMITED Second Edition of We PAUSED!
The first edition of the book We PAUSED! – A Handmade Book by Studio PAUSE for Gates of Ballston is done. We have already made and delivered 460 copies to the residents of Gates of Ballston community free of charge!
But so much has happened since then that we had to create the second edition in Spring 2022 and share it all with you.
We got an award!
We are making the book into an art exhibit!
We have responses from residents!
So, we decided to add this material and put it into a new pocket in the book We PAUSED! With a band that wraps around the book we keep the book’s original design intact yet announce the second edition. This is the version available to people who want a copy to learn more about the project.
JOIN US! We hope you will join us in this exciting extension of the project. Your support will be rewarded with thank you gifts and copies of the book itself. This event is good till the 150 books we are giving away have been claimed. They will be hand-made and shipped out by the end of June 2022.
Copies of the second edition will also be available at the exhibit We PAUSED! Unbound, opening June 2022 in Arlington, VA.

Dates and times to be determined–you will be able to pick from a weekday evening or a Saturday.

Dates and times to be determined but typically a Friday—lunch time or end of day option.
