We caught up on the plans for Manchester Book Fair with Sean (see latest post for more details)
We also agreed that a bi-monthly theme was a little unrealistic so we are going to try a quarterly theme instead!
The theme is intended to stimulate ideas, give focus and aid discussion.
So you don't have to bring a perfectly realised book along (although that would be very nice) rough ideas and mock-ups are most acceptable.
The theme of time will stay til next meeting and then we will start afresh with 'Reflections' (blame it on all the mirrors in the Kings Arms).
If you're stuck for a new project why not try 'Reflections' as a starting point for the book fair work.
We are taking a break in August so the next Bookstars meeting will be Wednesday 1st September, probably at Hot Bed Press.
This will coincide nicely with the last week of the Endpapers course if there is space in the workshop for both you can have a peek at what's been made, or you can come along to the whole course and not miss out on the bookstars meeting!
Watch this space for venue confirmation.
