Collaborative Book Project for BAG Members 2026

Signups for the next BAG Collaborative Book Project are now open, but close this Saturday, August 22! The theme is “Circles” and the pages will be made from 8” x 8” watercolor, mixed-media, or similar paper with a 6” circle in the center. The pages will be bound together using a very easy slipknot binding.

Your art work will be created inside the circle and can be collaged, painted, stamped, drawn—whatever speaks to you. The circle can be made separately and then glued to the page or you can work directly on the background paper. Lorraine will have examples at the August 8 BAG meeting and more details will be provided after the signup period ends.

The schedule:
Monday, August 3, to Saturday, August 22—sign up to participate by emailing Lorraine Hollingsworth at laholli@live.com
Sunday, August 23—an email will be sent to all participants with the number of pages required and additional information about the project
Saturday, September 26—deadline for turning in pages. Our long-distance members can participate by mailing in their pages. 
Saturday, October 17—in-person meeting to assemble the books
Sunday, October 18—Zoom meeting to assemble the books

Collaborative book projects are a great way to share your work and to get wonderful artwork from other BAG members.
