Summer Fun in Central New York


Here are a couple of wonderful opportunities to take in this summer!

1. Wells College Summer Book Arts Institute.
It's not too late to sign up for this incredible experience! Letterpress printing, bookbinding, lettering, typecasting, a veritable mecca of classes await you in July at Aurora, NY, an hour from Syracuse. There is nothing like a completely immersive week in the studio without the usual life distractions. Bask in the joy of working in well-equipped studios, joined by passionate fellow students from all experience levels, meals and bed provided, topped off with swimming in the beautiful lake across the street! Check out the brochure at http://www.wells.edu/pdfs/book-arts/WellsBookArtsBrochure2013.pdf  and more info at http://wellsbookartscenter.org  Hope to see you there!

2. Art on the Porches.
On Saturday, June 15th, the Strathmore neighborhood of Syracuse will be hopping with excitement! It will be a thrilling and wonderful gathering of very talented artisans, live music of all sorts, gourmet refreshments, a Hands-on Art Center and good times with friends! There will definitely be fine bookbinding by Amaranth Press and Bindery and amazing hand-lettered wooden signs in vintage typographical style by Black Rabbit Sign Company. Stop on over!
