Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - October 1, 2017
Hello everyone,
I’d like to welcome my fellow makers and creators from the Stamped Bound Nature workshop that happened last week. To those of you I promised a copy of the last calendar update that will go out under a separate email. So here goes ....
What are some of different places you have stayed at other than a hotel, house, apartment or condo or unusual destination? So far we have managed to rack up the following: an airstream, on a volcano, at a lighthouse, a railway car, glamping at a private zoo and soon a tiny home! Looking forward to our first glass igloo, tree house, yurt, wigwam, decommissioned 727/747, suspended spheres, etc.
I thought that long distance touch lamps are a sweet way to let someone know you are thinking about them. Check them out here - https://www.uncommongoods.com/product/long-distance-touch-lamp
Rachel Hazell’s “The BookLove e-course” (https://www.rachelhazell.com/booklove-e-course/) will be happening in mid-November. Her PaperLove e-course (https://www.rachelhazell.com/ecourse/) has already started but that is the beauty of e-courses - you learn at your own speed and you probably already have most of the materials in your stash. Her Driftwood Binding, Isle of Iona, Scotland, workshop will be happening sometime in mid-March 2018 and her Shetland Lighthouse Workshop, Scotland, workshop will be happening the 3rd weekend in April. Combining beachcombing and bookbinding with afternoon tea - priceless!
Here are some upcoming classes in the LA area, San Francisco (SF), along the west coast, some states just to the east and online (it could be a day-long adventure, make a weekend or whole vacation out of it!).
