Workshop: Valentine’s Book for Your Sweetheart – Saturday, Feb. 6, 2016

 Sees Candy Box

Valentine’s Book for Your Sweetheart

**Two spaces left for the workshop this Saturday, February 6, 2016 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. at Ginger’s Morgan Hill Studio**

Create a box full of books that we’ll make out of polymer clay “chocolate” and paper. Your sweetheart will want to eat the delicious looking chocolates and then be tickled to find out that each is really a book with your sentiments inside. Make a whole box full for someone special or several small books for individuals. Class fee $100, Materials Fee $15

Here are some photos of the chocolates that other students have made in this class in previous years:

Gifts from Cathryn Miller

Artists in general are some of the most kind and generous people I’ve met. Book Artists, specifically, are especially giving of their time and talent. It is pretty easy to find free tutorials on how to bind handmade books, but unusual to find books with actual content available for free.

Cathryn Miller, of Byopia Press, offers two artists’ books for you to print and make at home.

The most recent, a DIY artists’ book (although she’s really done most of the work for you) is titled Feathers. It is beautiful! And well worth your time.

Another interesting, well designed and fun project for you to make at home is CROP. Cathryn includes excellent step-by-step instructions with photos.

I hope you enjoy the projects. Be sure to drop Cathryn Miller a line and say thank you!

Codex Finds 2015 at 23 Sandy Gallery

E-Card-CodexFinds

It is an honor to have been invited by Laura Russell to participate in Codex Finds 2015. I have 3 books in the show, Twenty Six Charging Stations, Birth/Control and Public Privacy.

Get yourself a cup of coffee or tea (or, if it’s late enough, a glass of wine) and spend some time perusing the beautiful full color online catalog. Even better, if you can get there between March 25 – April 25, 2015, stop by the gallery and enjoy the artists books in person.
