LIBROS Calendar

Guests are welcome to our meetings, but please note that for project-based programs, members will receive supplied program materials first. Guests are welcome to participate if there are extra materials.

Social hour is from 9:00 to 10:00, followed by our regular meeting, which begins at 10:00. Please be prompt for the class, as we will start right after the regular business meeting.

Programs run from August – June. There is no scheduled meeting in July.

We meet in Albuquerque (see Meeting Location to the right for details).

For All Programs

Free Table: Anything art related that you would like to clean out and share with the club is always welcome.  

Sale Table: We are starting a sale table available to members to sell small amounts of unwanted or used art supplies. This is not for finished art pieces, just an ongoing white elephant thing for those who may be cleaning out their studios year round. But please bring things in in small increments. We cannot accommodate a whole studio! 10% of sales shall be donated to LIBROS.

Show and Tell Table: We love to encourage sharing our current works. We have a talented group of people who work in all sorts of mediums that are pulled together in book or box form. Pieces don’t have to be finished. You can also bring things in to discuss for help or inspiration. We will start this portion of the meeting early so make sure to show up on time!

Please feel free to email or call Mita with any questions,

The Clam Shell Box
with Mita Saldana

Please RSVP to Mita if you are attending or you will not receive a kit.

Mita will be teaching us how to make a clamshell box. Clamshell boxes have historically been made to protect books, photos, and prints. The box we will make is just the right size to hold postcards. I will provide the pre-cut boards which we will assemble together at the meeting. Your preparation for the meeting will be to come with the paper and cloth cut to size to cover the boards. There will not be enough time to cut the paper and cloth during the meeting, so please prepare ahead of time. Please pay attention to the grain direction which is the underlined number in the measurements. The inside of the box, referred to as the inner and the outer trays, should be paper. Try not to pick very thick or stiff paper, Japanese yuzen is perfect for making boxes. The outside of the box, referred to as the case, will be covered with bookcloth. Hopefully the photo can help you see how the paper and cloth cover the boards. Mita does need an accurate head count for this so please email her if you are planning on attending. Check your email for more details and a supply list.
