About

Silver Weekend Stories is about the pleasures of making and noticing things in the hours away from work and routine. We share resourceful ideas for paper projects, creative reuse, collections, pastimes and relaxed weekend plans, with care for what readers may already have.

What belongs here

Our subjects begin with small, accessible pleasures: shaping paper, finding a new use for ordinary materials, giving a collection some order, choosing a pastime or making a simple plan for a free day. The aim is to offer ideas that can be adapted to the materials, space and time available.

Who we write for

The publication is for curious general readers who enjoy making, keeping, playing and planning, whether they are trying something for the first time or returning to a familiar interest. No special equipment or expert background is assumed.

Our approach

We favour clear explanations and choices readers can weigh for themselves. Projects stay low-stakes and resourceful; suggestions are not presented as rules, and buying something new is never the automatic answer.
