News

I want to share some good news along with some links today. As you know if you follow this blog, I was juried into the Hello Hedi show at 23 Sandy Gallery in Portland, OR. The show opened yesterday and I am excited to share the online catalog with you here. I will be attending the artists' reception on Friday June 26 and hope to meet Hedi Kyle, who will be attending. I am also in Portland that week attending the Focus on Book Arts Conference and taking Jill Berry's class An Intimate Atlas. I can't wait for both of these events and when I am back home I will be sure to blog about the experiences. If any of you are attending either event I hope to see you there.

The other thing I want to mention is that I will be teaching a two hour workshop next weekend. I will show students how to fold Hedi Kyle's Pocket Book. It is similar to her Blizzard Fold book, but creates an expandable structure that can hold bulky items. Here is a link to my blog showing how to fold the structure. I also taught this class at Puget Sound Book Arts in April and it went very well. I hope my students will be inspired to use the structure to create their own artist books.

Here are the books I have in the Hello Hedi show. One has already sold which I am very happy about. Enjoy.
