Your work is on display in the Lighthouse Country Beacon...it's lovely! I look forward to coming and seeing it firsthand during the home and garden show. For Marc: I'm curious if you ever offer bookbinding classes? I noticed, in the article, that you learned from a friend (the basics at least). I was lucky enough, during university, to be invited to learn coptic bookbinding with the owners of Those Great Little Books at their Esquimalt workshop, before they really took off as a business and started offering classes on a regular basis. Now I'm looking to expand my knowledge and creativity, and wondered if you ever run classes yourself. I wish I could drop it all and apprentice in all these old arts, but somewhere in there I'd need to make a living, which at this point is in writing and teaching literature, and singing Baroque opera (all which suck up my time!) =) If you're not at a place where you'd like to teach or share your art in that fashion, that's ok! I shall look forward to perusing your work when I come in May for the show. Thanks so much,
