The leaders of ABW decided to take us through a bookmaking video and to have us make books at the meeting. In October we watched the first lesson, and last night at the November meeting we began assembling our books.
An initial response to this idea might be, "What kind of group is this? Don't these people know how to make books already?" Well, yeah. We do. Some are quite good, actually. There's an impressive number of professionals in the group.
But
there are also newcomers. This is not an elitist group; all who are interested in the art of book making are welcome. Additionally, there's the chance that a more experienced person may learn something, may pick up an idea or technique.
I enjoy making books, and I've enjoyed the resulting discussions from watching last month's video and last night's activity. I don't know everything there is to know about book arts, but so what?
So, I listen. I don't work ahead. I do what I am instructed to do when I am instructed to do it.
And hey, I am having fun.
