Browsing Book Arts
I attended an afternoon workshop at the Loft, a writer's organization in Minneapolis. I didn't leave when the class was done, however. I stuck around and browsed book arts.
One of the reasons I love the Loft is that it shares its restored warehouse building with a handful of book-minded organizations, one of them being the Minnesota Center for Book Arts.
The MN Center for Book Arts holds classes on papermaking, letter pressing, book binding and the sorts. Several paper artists were holding a craft sale and I spent at least an hour happily wandering their stalls and marveling at what people can do with paper.
I even picked up a Christmas present or two.

Hey there Kelly,
I like your new blog and the shifting focus!
We have to chat about book arts sometime. I was obsessed with it for a couple years. My only problem is, I'm a terribly slow binder! But I love it, and I love the whole world of book arts. I haven't been terribly creative in the past few years but one thing I created that I'm proud of is a book dummy - a story I wrote and cut paper images, which I made at the Center for Book Arts in NYC. I've heard of the Loft also. It looks like they have excellent classes!
