Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - June 23, 2019
Hello everyone,
I had an update draft but that seems to have disappeared. My intent tonight was to send out the update after having packed. I was shocked to see my draft had disappeared. I'll have to take precautions next time to back up the information. At least the workshops I found are still in the calendar. No new updates on "Things to see or do/If you ha[[en to be in the area" and "All things paper/books/tips" will be blank.
Bill and I are off to Tacoma, WA and Forest Grove, OR early tomorrow morning (June 24). I figured since Tacoma was relatively close by we would take in the PSBA exhibit and explore Bainbridge Island! Looking forward to attending Elissa Campbell's "Find Closure" workshop - will be doing some work with leather and have been wanting to attend a workshop with Elissa! Also looking forward to seeing some of my fellow NORBAGers again and taking in the trade show, artist fair and faculty/staff exhibit
Here's hoping you have the opportunity to take a workshop or 2!
