[BKARTS] Book Arts Educator meeting

[Steve Miller <steve@xxxxxx>]

Dear Folks

In January we had a meeting of minds here at The University of  
Alabama--people who teach aspects of book arts at their colleges and  
universities comparing notes on teaching practices, curriculum,  
resources, and the future. In the course of two days we managed to do  
interview of 20 of the participants--people who create books and  
teach it as well. These fascinating interviews cover everything from  
how individual artists make books, letterpress printing and  
bookbinding, career trajectories, starting book arts programs, to  
special collection librarians talking about what they collect and  
their advice to makers and educators.

The interviews are available for download and listening on your  
computer, or as podcasts available for free from iTunes. Just go to  
our website and hit the "Podcast" link.

Steve  Miller, Coordinator, MFA in the Book Arts Program.
