This is the earliest notice for a self-generated conference on the technologies of the hand made book. The TimelessTech conference will bring together book crafts people, each of whom will conduct a 2-3 hour workshop session for the entire group. This 10-14 day resident program will occur late in July to early in August, 2002, at the Oldways homestead in Santa, Idaho. All participant/presenters will pay tuition.
