Bookarts at UA
This summer the UA Poetry Center will feature Selections from the Permanent Collection: Unique Editions: June 5 - Aug. 11. A unique edition is a one-of-kind book (produced in an "edition of one"); these rare volumes form a small but treasured part of the Poetry Center's library holdings.

Advice sought
Member Marge Pellegrino is seeking counsel for a project for the nonprofit Owl & Panther, an expressive arts group for refugees: We're looking for some advice about hand-binding a limited edition of a small book. The purpose is to share the contents, of course, but also to teach interested refugees (however many might be needed for the project) how to bind and the project would optimistically serve as a small fund raiser for the nonprofit. We'll be seeking funding for the consultation,
printing and labor. Thanks! Marge margepell@comcast.net

Bobbie's Notes
Great fun at the May meeting showcase of our members' art, and loved meeting guests and having some of them join that very day! Thanks to everyone who introduced friends and family to PaperWorks. New inspiration for us all!
Although the PW year is winding down, board members are still busy planning for the upcoming year.
If you have ideas or suggestions for PaperPlay classes, Workshops, Programs, Creative Circles or Exhibits...please contact the appropriate person listed at www.paperworks.info
I love that PaperWorks can help support art students through our scholarships! It is always great to see their work and hear from them at our meetings.
Karoliina Paatos and Stephanie Burchett from the University of Arizona were thrilled with their award and enjoyed meeting PW members at our May 11 meeting.
A big thanks to
Helen Baribeau, who raised $40 for our scholarship fund by raffling off some of her beautiful handmade paper. Thank you, Helen!
Finally, the PaperWorks Board has chosen to donate our art supplies to
Sister Jose Women's Center for this coming year. RuthiE Neilan will be our liaison for the project (note the correct spelling of her first and last name.) You may bring donated materials starting with our September meeting.

Membership News
Currently our membership dues cover the year beginning July 1 and ending June 30. This timeline seems to be very confusing and results in dues not being paid on time or being paid twice. Many members are not in town after July 1 as well. After discussion and approval from the board, we have decided to change our membership year to January 1 through December 31.
To implement this change, membership dues of $50 will be paid on July 1, 2017 for July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018. Members will pay $50 for one and a half year's dues, and then return to $35 yearly dues on January 1, 2019.
A digital invoice will be sent to all current members on July 1, 2017 for this amount and will include links to pay via Pay Pal, credit card or information to pay by check.
+ + + + +
We're glad you joined!
Welcome to the following new members: Mary Rea, Elizabeth Kronlage, Ellen Abrams, Anita Fonte & Tobi Taboada. We look forward to getting to know you!

Member Spotlight
Kath Macaulay
www.pocketsketching.com
Just published my book, "POCKET SKETCHING ™, The Portable Workshop". It's easy to follow and new people can get the technique. It is aimed at plein air (working outdoors), and covers the perspective lessons of contrast, color and focal point. Good info on color and linear perspective too. And John Singer Sargent's use of wax. It's on the website for $17 and postage. The book was finished just in time to take to the national Plein Air Convention and Expo in San Diego. Another great experience there.

Summer note: the library opens at 1pm so now that the weather is heating up, don't plan to get there early as you'll have to wait outside until the doors open at 1!
Check out Origami LAFF at our open-to-the-public FaceBook page (you don't have to be a FB member to access). If you have anything you'd like to share with the Origami LAFF community send it to me and I'll
post
it.

I teach many origami classes in Pima County Branch Libraries all year. Here they are:
CLASSES
Check with the specific library to see if there are restrictions because all classes have a maximum number of participants, and some libraries ask people to register first. Most are first come, first serve, but it does vary.

Creative Circles
Greetings from your new Creative Circles coordinator! I must admit I am still processing this role...
I plan to contact the leaders for the existing Circle leaders over the summer, but don't hesitate to contact me with any questions/changes/suggestions. Some of the circles are actively seeking new leaders, and a summer camping trip was suggested (see May enews or call me for info).
RuthiENeilan@comcast.net would like to start an etegami group this summer.
Some early suggestions for fall 2017 include new Circles for: Marbling, Non-press printing methods, Etegami, Digital/Phone Photography, Postcards, and Paper Clay applications.
This is exciting! Keep the suggestions coming.
Thank you
Melinda
If you would like to suggests ideas for new Creative Circles, please contact Melinda Collins-Knick at cc@paperworks.info
