Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - September 24, 2018 [please see below for some time sensitive information]
Hello everyone,
Don't forget that the deadline for workshop proposals for the 2019 Newport Paper & Book Arts Festival (happening April 26 - 28, 2019 in Newport, OR) is Oct 5, 2018. Forms can be found here.
How would you or someone you know like to apply for a residency in Petaluma, CA? Artists are provided housing and studio space for 1, 2, or 4-week sessions. The deadline to apply for 2019 is Oct 25, 2018. More information at incahootsresidency.com. Wouldn't it be wonderful to work, focus and share creative processes and energy with other artists?
I am a little sad that one of my favorite online paper sites, Paper Mojo, is closing. Their going out of business sale will be happening until Sep 30, 2018. Please use the following code - 70FS18 (that is a zero after the 7) to get 70% off!! I got some amazing embossed paper that look like pebbles and linen. sigh

Would you like to travel to Fabriano and Northern Italy in mid-2019 to experience it's paper making & marking, bookbinding, etc.? See "Other Snippets" below.

Travel tip - using noise canceling headphones on your flight may help your food taste better. Turns out the drone of the engines can make you less sensitive to the smell and taste of your food. I suspect the humidity may also contribute to the lack of taste.
If you’re a fan of Pier 1 Imports, you’ll love their Clearance store. Just two of these Clearance outlets exist nationwide. Luckily for those of us in SoCal one is right here in Montclair.
