Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - October 19, 2017
Hello everyone,
Would you like to be a docent at the Getty Villa? Read about it and apply!
Apply to teach at the Morgan Art of Papermaking Conservatory & Educational Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio. Deadline to apply for Summer 2018 teaching opportunities is November 15, 2017. You will be contacted for additional information if your workshop is selected. Application here.
From Elissa R. Campbell of Blue Roof Designs: Sarah Mottaghinejad of Ink and Awl is establishing a co-working space for Seattle book artists – Editions (great name). It sounds like it’s going to be an amazing place – as a renter, you not only get access to equipment, but also to consumables like glue, thread, and ink. She already has everything she needs to get it going right now, except for an etching press. And that’s where her Kickstarter comes in – Sarah hopes to raise $6,000.00 by October 31st so that she can purchase a press. She’s got really cool rewards available for backers, like linoprints, custom letterpressed business cards, and a seat in one (or more) of her classes. And the bookbinder’s patch – awesome!
Just attended a desktop calendar workshop where we got a chance to use the We R Memory Keepers Cinch Bindery tool. What a great way to bind anything - no sewing, no glue - but you do need a wire spine, a little bit of muscle power and I put together a themed calendar! So that got me thinking about calendars. Do you like calendars that teach you a new word, make something new every month, admire landscapes from far away? How about some unusual calendars that I found or these. Here is a circular one - you can have it printed up at a Fedex Kinkos (are there still Kinko stores around?). Helen Hiebert has a paper arts how-to book and calendar for 2018. How about your own zoo, windmill, modular cube calendar?
Here are some 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 days.
