Craft disciplines worked chiefly in paper: calligraphy as a lettering and book art, and origami as a paper-folding art, one of the American Craft Council's own discipline categories, sometimes styled Book and Paper in its fuller show-jurying form. Belongs here: calligraphy, origami and other paper-based hand crafts. Does not belong here: scrapbooking and journaling, which this atlas holds as hobby entities rather than crafts, reflecting the atlas's own craft-versus-hobby spine rather than a paper-material distinction.
