Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - October 26, 2017
Hello everyone,
Rachel Hazell has come out with dates for her Isle of Iona (15th – 19th March 2018) and Shetland Lighthouse (19th – 23rd April 2018) workshops. Last year’s workshops sold out pretty quickly so jump on these if you are interested! I will be attending an International Beachcombing Conference in March but April … hmmm!
If you are in the Seattle Tacoma area the GBW Standards of Excellence Seminar has already started but the Vendor Room is open to the public. For the list of vendors, time and location, please see the Oct 25 - 28 calendar entry.
If you are interested in the Iceland trip the registration deadline is 15 Feb 2018 and you should be able to get some really great fares through WOW airlines!
I will be headed out to Malaysia and Singapore on an extended trip and this may be the last full update in a while. I will be figuring out how much info to send you as I will be working on a tablet instead of a nice large screen (yes, I am old school that way). The large screen helps me move between and correlate pieces of information that I pull together for the calendar more easily.
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 (well … until the end of the year since the frequency of updates may be reduced!).
