This will be the first of a quarterly series of explorations which will bring together a variety of book people who will talk about the business aspect of being an artist, conservator, teacher, or other profession related to book arts. Panelists will look at how a book comes into existence by exploring their sources, materials, discovering classes, finding opportunities to practice and the how-to’s of studio furnishing. Also, how does one organize their workday to be as productive as possible.
