2nd Salt City Book Arts Meeting, December 4th, 11 – 2

Hello, Book Art Aficionados!! The weeks have flown by and it is time for another meeting of the Salt City Book Arts! Join us on Saturday, December 4th for camaraderie and our Thrilling Main Event: Printing on a Tabletop Press!! We'll have a dainty little Adana press set up with a choice of papers and different bookish themes for you to print. Let us crank out our own letterpress prints while talking shop and seeing what work others are doing. As usual (I know, it's only 2nd meeting!) we will have Show and Tell Time so do bring some ongoing or completed samples of what you do. Judging from our last meeting, there is a lot of interesting work being made all over the city just waiting to be seen! I hope you all can come out for a good time meeting others involved in bookmaking, printing, design, etc. AND also to make your own keepsake letterpress prints!! Please let us know if you have any ideas, suggestions, comments. We look forward to hearing from you!

The meeting will be held from 11am to 2pm at Syracuse University's Bird Library in the Dept of Preservation. The address is 222 Waverly Ave, Syracuse, NY 13224. Metered parking is available in front of the Library and on Walnut Street. For directions see http://library.syr.edu/about/liblocation/. Once in the library go down the stairs and head towards the Pepto Bismol (tm) pink wall, then right, then left, first door on the right is Dept of Preservation. Look for signs.
