Happy New Year! Here are deep breaths of anticipation and intention, plans and hopes, in a pictorial whiz through 2020. Have a good one folks!
January – This temporary studio space has been wonderful. We’re making the most of every last minute in it by doing some promotional filming here with Sarah Mason. Very exciting.
February – BookLove returns for a burst of bookbinding, designing, hand-lettering and reading.
March – Both Iona Driftwood Binding Retreats are fully booked. Follow the adventures here.
April – Heading to Gladstone’s Library with no plans, except to write and think. An incredible gift.
May – A weekend of pure bookbinding pleasures: Three Structures, Edinburgh.
June – PaperLove – The flagship online course for stationery addicts, expressive calligraphers, book artists and ephemera hunters!
July – Island time. Restorative beach/boat bliss.
August – To Sweden to top up structural skills. (Important for teachers to stay curious and keep learning eh?!)
September – Shetland Text & Texture. Seven stitchings, stunning surroundings, splendid stimulations.
October – Explore Personal Geographies in Venice, along canals, through paper, books and gelato.
November – Paris Love Letters workshop is yet to be confirmed. Newsletter subscribers will be the first to know the dates and details.
December – There will be origami star folding, somewhere, somehow!
Best and bookiest, dear paper + book loving adventurers!
Everything looks beautiful, Rachel! Loved seeing the binding/stitching and your trademark watercolor (ink?) work. And… I have always loved those Iona driftwood books! Someday!
Best of luck in everything!
Cynthia
Many thanks Cynthia! Hope it’s not too late to wish you a very Happy New Year
