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!
