Lots to still plan eg when space will 1st open, but good renewed energy toward public accessibility, teaching, community events. Sad to leave rooms in the amazing Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, but across street from main city bus terminal, near downtown mall=decent public access
I'm excited to get to pay forward some of my intense practice time into teaching others, something I'd started to do more of when the program closed. I'm obviously biased, but so many folks at our packed Festival of the Book public print demo loved it, hadn't known shop existed, planned to come back
Local folks, for more info & alerts when we open to the public & start holding events and workshops: scroll to bottom of vabookarts.org to sign up for the listserv. Hoping to show you how fun letterpress printing posters w/a Vandercook press is!
I wish I lived close by! I'd love to learn printing!
There's a place in Scarborough (Toronto) that teaches it.
Oh, that's cool - still a little far for me though. Have you ever taken a course in it? I've taken one bookbinding course but that's it.
No I haven't. Wanted to take one of their enclosures courses but missed it and no energy since. bigriverbindery.com
Oh, he's great. He is a friend of a conservator friend of mine. He moved to Canada from the US and has done some online workshops including one on enclosures. I signed up for it and let the archives staff watch it and make enclosures. I didn't have time to do them all myself, but he knows his stuff.
I took my bookbinding course here in London. And I took a box making course in Toronto once with a conservator from Archives of Ontario. I'd love to take that course again.
