Book of the Month Salons 2007/08

This year PaperWorks is offering a series of bookmaking classes through its salon program because many of our members have indicated an interest in developing their bookmaking skills. Each salon features a different book structure. If you take all nine salons you will have acquired a basic knowledge of bookmaking. Each salon costs $30 which includes a materials fee. The sponsor will provide all supplies. You will need to bring the following basic tools: Self-healing cutting mat - Metal ruler - Utility knife - Bone folder - .5mm pencil with eraser - Scissors - Awl (thin needle style is best)
To register contact the salon host directly by phone or e-mail. Your seat will be reserved once the host has received payment. Your check is refundable up until 30 days prior to the salon date. If you must withdraw after that, contact the sponsor who will work with you to find a replacement from the waiting list.
