Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - April 25, 2018
Hello everyone,
We head out to the Island of Hawaii, affectionately known as the Big Island, early Monday morning. It always feels like we are coming home when we visit the Hawaiian Islands. Do you have a place like that? Where you feel just as at home or even more so because of the warmth and energy of the people? Bill is excited as it we will be flying on his birthday and he loves the Big Island as much as I do. Now I just need to work on his card!
The next update will be after May 12. I hope you continue to have an amazing, wonderful and creative time!
==================== Save the date
Remaining 2018 dates for free entrance into US National Parks: Sep 22 and Nov 11. Participating parks.
==================== If you happen to be in the area …
If you happen to in West Dean, Chichester, UK, between 1 - 3 June, 2018, this arts & crafts festival looks like a hoot!
Science Museum Oklahoma’s exhibit “Into the Fold: The Art and Science of Origami”, open through Jan. 13, 2019 features a wide array of origami creations.
==================== How do they do that?
What you can do with strips of quilling paper
Study finds copying other people’s art can boost creativity
Cutlery sculptures - https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/cutlery-silverware-birds-creatures-art
==================== Other snippets
How do you pronounce SRIRACHCHA? It looks like Huy Fong Foods no longer have their annual open house but will keep an eye out. However they do have weekly tours now usually on a weekday.
If you do some shopping online - let’s save some money (I was able to use it - went to Ulta for some moisturizer, $21+tax, which they were out of - went online and used “Honey” and paid $15 including shipping!)
What if you do not wish to go down the academic route? Read about a leatherworker, globe-maker, clog-maker, wheelwright, and paper maker. How about bookbinding? Do you know of apprenticeships in the US?
==================== Upcoming classes on the calendar in the LA area, San Francisco (SF), along the west coast, some states just to the east (it could be a day-long adventure, make a weekend or whole vacation out of it!) and online in the next 30 - 90 days (I extended this to help you plan for the beginning of summer!)
