Sarah Bearup-Neal, GAAC gallery manager, leads the discussion.
Dennis and Wolff have worked together for more than 30 years. Together, they’ve published nine books about the natural world – stories, myths, natural histories, fly fishing, and wooden canoes. Their collaborations have spanned the era of sending drafts by fax to ZOOM, and back to letterpress artwork, books, and broadsides published in small, hand-built batches through their joint project, Big Maple Press. Dennis and Wolff will talk about how the collaborative process works for them, the mechanics, and the nuances of working together on a shared project.
Coffee With The Authors is offered without charge. The GAAC is located at 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor.
