March 2013 Upcoming Worksop

The Lone Star Chapter of the Guild of Book Workers will be sponsoring The Amazing Dremel with Jill Timm of Mystical Places Press in Austin Texas Houston,TX at the University of Houston on March 16-17, 2013. Please note that the venue has changed due to the South by Southwest film festival happening in Austin during the same time period.

This workshop is on a Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm. The workshop will be located in the Fine Arts department of the University of Houston. There is a Hilton on campus (they have a hotel accredited program), so you can come, park and participants can either walk or drive to the Fine Arts Building. Google “Hilton University of Houston” and you can click on links, checking in on Friday, March 15 and departing Sunday, March 17. That will lead you to a variety of room rates, packages, etc.

This class has made, but has a couple more spots available as of February.
