Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - September 23, 2019
Hello everybody,
The deadline for Newport Paper & Book Arts Festival (NPBAF) workshop proposals for the 2020 festival is October 15, 2019! Don't forget to save the date for NPBAF 2020 - April 16 - 19, 2020! Also if you plan to join Macy Chadwick's "In Cahoots" residency next year the deadline for that is Oct 1, 2019 (please see All things paper/books/tips/trips section).
Have you wanted to go to Venice and also be up to your elbows in book arts? There are 3 spots left. Check out the calendar entry for June 16, 2020! If you are looking for other trips check out Personal Geographies (Venice), Love Letters (Paris) and Driftwood Binding (Scotland) with Rachel Hazell; and Mixed Media Immersion (Ogden, Utah) with Sharon Bolton.
Went up to the Central Coast of CA earlier this month to get away from the heat and it was much cooler in Monterey but was just as hot when we got to Pismo Beach. It was lovely to take a 16-mile round trip segway ride out to Fort Ord Sand Dunes Park (we saw whales!). If you are looking for a treat check out Revival Ice Cream on Alavarado in Monterey. Pismo Beach was warm but had lots of scenic walking trails by the ocean so that kept us a little cool.
Hope to see you in a future workshop!
