Our meeting’s creative program is bookplates. Thank you to Joni for sparking this topic by mentioning that the Newberry Library is offering a class on “The Art of Creating a Personal Bookplate”.

If you have any books with bookplates, please bring them for Show and Share. You might like to look through your practice sheets, or collection of calligraphed envelopes, to reflect on the favorite ways your name is written.

Please have your favorite writing tools, a pencil, a ruler and an eraser handy. If you like to use rubber stamps and ink pads, you can decorate your bookplate with them (optional). We will have pre-cut paper (graph paper, Arches Text Wove and Strathmore paper) available for those attending in person. (Thank you to Vicki Corwin for donating the paper and cutting it to size). Arches Text Wove will accept wet mediums such as watercolor if you’d like to decorate a bookplate that way (optional).

For those participating virtually, please cut paper in 4.25” by 3” rectangles. You will need two or three pieces. You can use any calligraphy paper you have on hand. The small size makes it possible to use scraps and offcuts from other projects.

Bookplates are a wonderful way to personalize books and make wonderful gifts.
