SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER
GUILD MEETING
Blue Room, Pioneer Park
(NOTE THE LOCATION!!)
Thursday, September 24, 2015
5:00 TO 7:00PM
Teeny Tiny Tomes
with Marilyn Askelin
Do you remember seeing the Teeny Tiny Tomes in our BOOKS AS ART exhibition? They were clever, they were beautifully made, and they were charmingly small! Come to the Guild meeting and learn how to make your very own set from Marilyn Askelin, the book artist who created the originals for the 2014 exhibition. She will lead us through making three teeny tiny origami books, each created from paper no larger than 3" x 6". Handouts included!
Please bring:
Scissors or X-Acto knife with cutting mat
Glue stick
Large binder clip or clothespin for clamping
Bone folder (optional)
LETTERPRESS PROJECT
There's a lot going on in the Guild's studio space at The Folk School! Come to the meeting to hear news about the Press Project - which, thanks to Bruce Campbell, now includes not one, but two letterpresses! Susan Campbell will tell the story, complete with photographs, of how the project has unfolded over the past two months. And, you will see the first NBG letterpress print - a haiku written by Susan and Mary Maisch and illustrated by Bruce.
