PROGRAM
Creating an Artist Book: Focus on TEXT
Including TEXT in your artist book presents important questions, some of which we will address at this month's Guild meeting. Topics of discussion will include:
- Copyright questions: what are the general rules for using TEXTS that are not your own?
- Selection of TEXTS that avoid copyright issues: Susan Campbell will offer up some poetry texts for which permission has already been granted.
- Margo Klass will talk about using Dateline digital copy services to print TEXT on fine art papers. Attendees will receive a sample packet of readily available art papers printed by Dateline.
- Mary Maisch will teach us a transfer technique she uses for both TEXTS and images.
- Chris Pastro will share a book in progress; we will brainstorm with her about whether or not TEXT would enhance her vision of the book as a whole. How and where would she add TEXT?
- Susan Campbell will share a book in progress which includes a poem she has written.
Do you have a book in progress to share? Bring it to the meeting!
