Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - September 14, 2018
Hello everyone,
I don't know if I have already confessed to this but I love, love, love Hedi Kyle. So in this update I will be talking about her both in this newsy part and below in the "Other Snippets" area. Her book, The Art of the Fold, co-written with her daughter, will be coming out October 2, 2018. Insert squeals of delight here! See ordering information below as well as reviews from a couple of respected book artists/binders and other bits about Hedi! Another bookbinder I admire, Rachel Hazell, is also coming out with a book - see below as well for pre-ordering. One of my bucket list items is a workshop with Rachel either at the Shetland Lighthouse or Isle of Iona in Scotland. Getting there would be an adventure in and of itself! Another book artist I admire - Ed Hutchins - I tried to talk him into having one last workshop but, alas, no such luck. However it is he that mentioned Hedi and Paul Johnson (whom I have also had a workshop with at BookArts LA) to me.
I got to know Hedi Kyle back in early 2015 when I was looking around on Pinterest for 3-D effects for my hand made cards and kept seeing the same book structures show up again and again with Hedi's names associated with them. I had no idea that she had originated these cool structures - case in point the Blizzard Book structure which was created during, you guessed it, a blizzard! The more I looked into her the more fascinated I became! So I started to look around (like I do) and came across her workshop at OCAC and somehow managed to get a spot in it. I had already bought airline tickets and lodging specifically for FOBA in June 2015 and had to change my flight and extend my lodging to accommodate Hedi's workshop & FOBA. It was worth every penny! Being with her re-ignited my love for origami (having learnt how to to do origami from my mother as a child - I see now where I get my love of paper!) and being around my fellow workshop attendees filled me with excitement in wanting to learn more!
