Beryl Taylor Speaks at BAR Meeting

Beryl Taylor with some of her works.

On Thursday, June 26, Beryl spoke at the BAR meeting.  In Karen McDermott's words, "It was an evening filled with stimulation, visions of beauty and techniques."  Everything those of us in attendance could want!  (And those of us not in attendance were very sorry we missed!)

Again from Karen, "Beryl shared her work with us, literally by letting us pass it around, turn the pages and ask questions.  She was very giving with her techniques and creative philosophy and just a real pleasure to listen to."

Flat-Back Book with Barbara Mauriello

 

On Saturday, March 29, Barbara Mauriello led a one day workshop on making a flat-back book, with covered boards.  We fourteen BAR members worked very hard that day.  But, Barbara was a warm and knowledgeable teacher, and so we all went home with quite an impressive book!

Cutting bookcloth and bookboard the easy way!

Piercing a signature 

Marking the hinge cloth

All the goodies!

Casing-in the book

Close to finished...

Thank you Barbara for a great workshop!

Booked 11...Last Word

GO!  See this show!

You have no idea of sizes!

Colors you saw may not be so true!

Dramatic pieces may have grabbed you, but subtle pieces must speak to you 

         in person!

You didn't get to turn the pages!

And you certainly didn't get to see ALL the pages!

BAR's artists worked so hard, it's the least you can do!

And there is still time, until March 22.  

Just GO!
