Notes from meeting 20/08/21

For next week:

Tony – will focus on Tens book for PAGES (maybe also spiral text for book).

Kit – work on Tangram title text and also either the map of the Severn or more fish drawings

Jane – Will take the palm book forward exploring format, light sensitivity etc

Frances – Work on Tens book for PAGES and explore paper options for Water book

Antoinette – start to assemble final pop-op section for Matisse Birds book

It was agreed that by next week, those wishing to contribute to the Tens book would have ideas in progress and be working towards a book, not necessarily with a cover, to test out how it fits in the cigar box during our physical get-together on 10 September.

Actions for next week:

Tony – continue working on spiral structure and 

Kit – Closure for 10s book and cyan experiments on Rivers cover

Deadline for Tens Books: we agreed to finalise our own contribution concepts and structure by 27 August meeting, and to have a version without a cover ready to test in the cigar box at Kit’s on 10 September.

Zoom meetings: The subscription for the full version of Zoom will expire after the Sue Doggett workshop. Please could all Bandits check to see if they have or can install Skype (which may include needing to set up a Microsoft or Skype account).  From September meetings will be via Skype, which is very similar to Zoom, but it allows 100 hours free per month, with a maximum of 4 hours per meeting.

Further discussion:

Should Bernard be asked to join the Book Band? Kit had conversation with him that led her to believe he could be a valuable new addition.
