SALT LAKE CITY AREA

Hello and greetings. We have an interesting year ahead of us. Just a few of the things to look forward to:

It looks like the Guild Standards meeting in Boston is sold out! I am very excited about visiting Boston, as

there are so many book related things to see and do. Hopefully, our chapter will once again be well representedat

the last two annual Standards meetings we had the most in attendance of any chapter. And dont forget that in 2012,

Standards will be held in our own Salt Lake City.

The chapter will be announcing an exhibit and show in the next newsletter.

Please send in the postcard with your vote for new chapter ofcers.

Our next Utah meeting will be on August 13, at 5:00 pm, at Toni Nelsons home. I hope to see you there.

-Ethan Ensign, Co-Chair ([email protected])

DENVER AREA

Thanks to the great planning efforts of Sammy Lee (Denver region events coordinator) the Denver area has

had a busy spring! We hope many of you have been able to participate in the events of the last few months. Since

the last newsletter the region has hosted workshops by Shaun Sheehy (April), Peter Thomas (May), and Don Glaister

(June). We also co-sponsored and were treated to talks by both Shaun Sheehy and Don Glaister while they were in theregion.

We participated (for the second time) in the Colorado Arts and Crafts Society - Gathering of the Guilds, May

1, at the Boettcher Mansion in Golden. Many thanks to Karen Jones for helping me to greet the attendees and share

information about the guild, bookmaking, book history and marbling!

Please also stop by the Norlin Library on the Colorado University - Boulder Campus and see the chapter show

which is open until September 8! The exhibit is part of the ongoing celebration titled Book Craft: Deconstructing,

Unhinging, Decomposing. Thanks to all the members who shared your book arts works for this event and exhibit.

Regrettably, this is my nal column as co-chair for the Denver region. I hope to see you at upcoming GBW

events, and wish you all the best in your book arts adventures!
