Our last gathering of the semester will be next Monday, May 12, in room 5409 of the Grad Center. We will be playing a wonderful interview with Lynda Barry in which she discusses her writing process, the necessity of play, and a bunch of other fun and interesting stuff.
Come by anytime between 4:30 and 9:30 p.m. for stamping and crafting, or stop in around 6 p.m. when we’ll begin the interview. As always, we’ll have delicious food and drink, as well as myriad crafting supplies and some printed-out pages from Barry’s fantastic What It Is.
Our last event, Chance and Happy Accidents, was a blast. Appropriately enough, though, we have no photos to record our aleatory crafting on the internets. Still, if you run into me (Alec), you should check out the suminagashi calling cards I dyed at the event. And for those of you who were really into the I Ching, there’s a pretty great website called I Ching Online that will toss it for you. You have to click the button at the bottom of reading marked “Read the Original Text” to get the version I was using (and, somewhat irritatingly, you have to do click it for each separate tab: the original hexagram, the changing lines, the hexagram it changes into, etc.). Here’s a copy of the instruction sheet, too: I Ching how-to.
