[BKARTS] NL book arts? US book arts?

[robert stuart <thuotte@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I am new to the list and this is my first post... I recently finished my 
BA in English literature, and am a writer, and joined here because I am 
very interested in learning more about book arts and self publishing.

Can anyone here recommend a good certificate book arts program in the 
US?  I am aware of the 1-yr course at the University of Iowa, are there 
any others like this (my fine arts experience is too limited to apply 
for an MFA)?

Also, I may be moving to Amsterdam for the fall semester with a friend 
of mine who will be starting a master's degree there.  I am curious if 
there is any book arts activity in or near the city that I might be able 
to get involved in, before coming home and entering a formal program. 
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.  Thanks,

Robbie
