Croxteth Park, Endeavour Exhibitions and August Workshop

Books on the theme of ‘gardens’ are due at this month’s meeting. The theme was chosen because of our selling exhibition at the Croxteth Open Garden event at the end of August-the 26th, Bank Holiday Sunday.   More details of that event will follow, but if anyone is able to volunteer for an hour or so please let Marilyn know. If you haven’t seen the walled garden yet, it is well worth seeing. Books not brought to the August meeting will need to be posted to Marilyn or brought along on the day; please use the form sent out for Liverpool Book Arts fair so that we know what you are sending and how much you want to charge if you wish to sell your book. Books will also need marking with the price please. Books for exhibit only are also welcome of course.

We have 2 trestle tables for our use.

For our August meeting (10.30 a.m. in the  Hornby Room,  Central Library, Liverpool), Wendy will be leading a session on making a tri-fold book form. For this you will need some A4 card - does not need to be too thick - scissors, pencil, glue, cutting knife and mat and ruler. This is a book that lends itself to decoration with stamps and embellishments, but also is an interesting format  for words, pictures or photos and other ephemera. So, bring along any or all of the above and prepare to have fun. This activity replaces the planned book making, for which Marilyn apologises-she had managed to forget that she will be attending her nephew’s wedding! 

We are very grateful to Wendy for stepping into the breach
