Book Works Weekend

There are only a few spots left for the 1st Annual Book Works Weekend! Reserve your space now, before it's too late!

What is it? An all weekend workshop on the many facets of making handmade books. There will be a Thursday evening "Get Acquainted" get together, and the workshop starts Friday morning with three full sessions (morning, afternoon, evening/night), then continues Saturday with three more sessions, and finishes up Sunday morning. Open studio format...over 25 books to choose from. Make whichever ones you choose. Participants limited to 15, so that the instructor can spend lots of one-on-one time. Beginner levels to challenging projects. Something for everyone!

Where is it? Historic St. Francisville in the lovely rolling hills of Louisiana, 30 minutes north of Baton Rouge. The workshop will be held at the St Francisville Inn on the Lake. The classroom is very large and has a glass walled patio area overlooking the lake. PLENTY of inspiration!

When is it? Thursday, January 22nd, 2004 through Sunday, January 25th. January is usually a very pleasant time to visit Louisiana, average temps in the 50-70 degree range (no guaranteed though!)

The fee of $275.00 includes the following: Hotel room (based on double occupancy) for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights Get Acquainted Get together on Thursday night Continental Breakfast in the hotel, Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings Catered lunch Friday and Saturday (so you don't have to quit working in the middle of a book!)
