a creative update & printable
First of all, I just want to welcome all of my new followers who have signed up for the newsletter! Thank you!!
Expect to get blog posts with a little bit of story and tips/ hints of what was used to create whatever is being shared and few emails with creative news and updates meant just for you.
That leads me into today’s blog post. You may be thinking, what is The Book Maker Collective?
That is the exciting news that I’m sharing with you today- that some artist friends and I are coming together to bring something unique to our creative community:
The Artisan Bookmaker Adventure in Six Live Workshops
Discover new book making techniques or reimagine old ones as you create and construct artisan books or journals from start to finish during live workshop sessions.
Live workshops you ask? Who is hosting live workshops these days?
We are! All of the workshops will be presented live and in the comfort and convenience of your home on Zoom throughout the entire year of 2021. Every other month beginning in February you’ll have an opportunity to register for a live Zoom workshop. And don’t worry if you can’t attend live, we’re recording everything and everyone who registers will receive the entire recorded class link via email within 48 hours of the class conclusion.
Not only that . . .
You will have the option of purchasing a kit to go with the workshops that will be mailed to your home prior to the workshop. You can purchase the full Monty (if bookmaking is newer to you) or just the special items for that particular booking making class. Or purchase nothing at all. All supply lists will be posted well in advance, so purchase what you want/ need or use what you have-it’s entirely up to you!
Who are these mysterious book artists you ask? The members of the 2021 Bookmaker Collective are:
Ali of The Handmade Book Club
Andrea of A Work of Heart Studio
DeeDee of DeeDee Catron and UmWowStudio
Tiff of Southern Gal Designs
Wendy of WillaWanders
and myself, of course
More information will be coming as we get closer to registration time for each of the six live workshops. For now, just get excited- as you are all honorary members of The Bookmaker Collective just by being you and being here!
Make sure to stay subscribed to this newsletter for all of the insider information on The Bookmaker Collective offerings. Follow the hashtag #thebookmakercollective on Instagram to see the exciting work inspired by our community as we adventure together!
I wanted to also provide a printable January calendar as a thank you for being here. Thankful for 2021!
