About Paperific Expos
Paperific started in 2000 as the Melbourne Paper Arts Expo at St Kilda Town Hall. Five years later, the name changed to Paperific Expo. Paperific was the vision of Stacey Apeitos, who was the founder and previous owner. In August 2009, Naomi Swan acquired Paperific.
Paperific has a brand new home at Flemington Racecourse. Paperific attracts exhibitors and visitors from across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond, providing retail products, classes, and free demonstrations to the general public. Every expo is a showcase for a wide range of papercraft retailers and mixed media art. Of course, because of their popularity, scrapbooking and stamping are always exceptionally well represented.
Our motto is “Heaven on Earth for Papercraft Lovers!” – that’s what you can expect from the Melbourne Paperific Expo. Make sure you set aside a whole day (or even two or three!) to come along and enjoy the show.
