At the 2^nd meeting of the Chattanooga Book Arts Collaborative, we will devote a block of time to sharing our own creations.  Please bring books that you have made, recent or otherwise.  If you were able to attend the January CBAC meeting, be sure to bring the book you made during the meeting too ... and anything you’ve made since that time using the long-stitch binding method.  If you’re new to book arts, that’s okay … just come and enjoy.  We are sure to see quite a range books that will be sure to inspire you.

At the meeting, we will also learn a simple, folded, non-glued book structure.  Several of our members will demonstrate what we call the “male-female” book form. 

Please bring the following supplies:

• A bone folder
• Scissors
• At least 20-30 sheets of paper (cardstock is good, but avoid thin, flimsy paper), cut in rectangles twice as wide as high, e.g. 2”x 4” but no larger than 3”x6”.  This paper can be solid colors…or not.  It can be pieces of watercolor paintings, paste paper, photographs, cut-up greeting cards, sheets of paper on which you’ve written words, old letters, old books, concert tickets, recycled paper… anything that you don’t mind folding and cutting.

All Chattanooga Book Arts Collaborative meetings are ont the third Sunday of each month, from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m.
