The Guild of BookWorkers is just four weeks away from its annual 'Standards of Excellence Seminar', which will be held this year in Salt Lake City, Utah. In connection with the Seminar, the Guild will be hosting its Fifth Annual Fund Raising Auction and I would like everyone on this list to consider donating something for a good cause, whether or not you are attending the conference.
Some items are very creative, fun, unusual or even bizarre.
Smaller items are often grouped together with similar items to make interesting 'lots'. I encourage everyone to check your closets, under your workbench, in the attic, etc., and consider making a donation to a very worthy cause. Following is just a sampling of past donations to spark your imagination and get you thinking about what YOU might have to offer. With only four weeks to go, please mail or UPS your donations to Helen Peters as soon as possible. Prints, posters, calligraphed pieces Bottles of wine, champagne, Dom Perignon Marbled jewelry, scarves Brass tools, finishing stoves, gold leaf Private consultations, free workshops and lessons, services Fine Bindings, Design Bindings Paper Cuttings Exhibition Catalogs Miniature books, pop-ups, etc.
