They can be produced as one-of-a-kinds or printed in small editions—perfect to share with friends and family\, give away as keepsakes at readings\, and use as a format for small zines. You’ll get advice on page layout\, paper choices\, and printing and be ready to continue making these books on your own. \ncost: $55\nmaximum of 12 students\nnobody turned away for lack of funds \nTo register\, email Amanda@GloucesterWriters.org or use the button below. \n\n\n\nSusan Gaylord has been working as a visual artist since the late 1970s. Ten years of calligraphic work were followed by a deep involvement in book arts where she is best known for her Spirit Books and her advocacy of the educational and personal value of simple bookmaking with recycled materials. She divides her studio time between hands-on work with natural materials and the digital screen and writes\, blogs\, and lectures about the artist’s life and her exploration of the natural world. She recently published The Spirit Books\, a paperback volume with evocative images of 34 of the Spirit Books and explanations of the inspiration behind each one. \nSusan’s work is in the library collections of the Museum of Modern Art\, Bowdoin College\, the University of Arizona\, Wellesley College\, and Yale University. It has been seen in solo and group exhibitions in museums and galleries throughout the United States and in Canada and Korea\, including the Center for Book Arts in New York City; the University of Indiana Art Gallery in Indianapolis; the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in Milwaukee\, Wisconsin; and the Seungnam Book Fair in Seungnam\, Korea. It has also been featured in books (1\,000 Artists Books\, 500 Handmade Books\, Cover to Cover\, The Art of the Handmade Book\, Handmade Books And Cards) and magazines (Urthona: Buddhism and the Arts\, Somerset Studio\, Fiberarts\, Letter Arts Review\, and Bound & Lettered). \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest URL:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/event/simple-bookmaking-for-short-work-and-small-editions-for-writers-poets-and-graphic-novelists/ CATEGORIES:Classes END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20160331T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20160331T210000 DTSTAMP:20260427T064027 CREATED:20160218T203442Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160218T203442Z UID:6551-1459449000-1459458000@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Midnight Special DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT!\n  \nJoin the Gloucester Writers Center for a screening of Midnight Special\, Sarah Green’s new movie. \n  \n  \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest URL:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/event/midnight-special/ LOCATION:Cape Ann Cinema and Stage\, 21 Main Street\, Gloucester CATEGORIES:Events,Readings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20160331T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20160331T120000 DTSTAMP:20260427T064027 CREATED:20160206T135414Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160206T135414Z UID:6541-1459418400-1459425600@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Veterans Writing Workshop DESCRIPTION:Veterans Writing Workshop Spring\, 2016 \n  \nWorkshop Description \nDorothy Shubow Nelson\, M.A. English\, Workshop Facilitator and Teacher \n  \nThe goal of this workshop is to write. \n  \nThe Veterans Writing Workshop is designed to help people get started or move forward on their own writing projects.
