What to expect?
Expect to receive a recycled hardback book in a box. The box can be reused for mailing your book eight times after you contribute art to your pages. It is up to each individual artist how they prefer to proceed with their books artistic beginnings within the monthly theme. Instructions for how to begin with resources and timelines will be included in your box with a few small surprises. Your book is yours. A blank hardback book is yours to design and invite the other five participants to contribute their art on your pages. You will receive five different books over the eight month period that you will contribute your creativity to the pages. The five will share in your book each month.
Each participant is responsible for their own postage for shipping six books for eight months.
All fees are waived including postage for receiving your book by mail and for facilitating a monthly Zoom program as a jump start for the creation of pages in the six different books over a period of eight months. The book you receive when registration is complete will include a handmade bookplate with your name, book number, mailing address and zoom links for monthly book sharing, reviews and a short program.
This collaboration is intended to scaffold an expansion of knowledge and creativity within a variety of artistic mediums through book arts. All are invited regardless of experience. Organizational skills, optimism and a love for creativity are helpful attributes.
