Here is a review of my Book Arts class:
"It's been quite some time since I took two workshops from you (Flag Books and Tunnel Books) offered through the Society for Contemporary Craft in Pittsburgh, but I wanted to share with you where your instruction led. Since those two workshops, I've been creating artists' books, teaching classes and workshops on artists' books, curating shows and exhibits of artists' books, and founding Art Books Cleveland, an organization dedicated to the appreciation of the book arts with more than 70 people on our mailing list.
Your classes truly changed my life - I can't imagine what I'd be doing without your introduction and instruction in the book arts. Thank you."
