ARTIST BIO: When Jo Diamantes was in the Greater Cincinnati Calligraphy Guild many years ago a fellow member gave her a small handmade book. She fell in love with the book and the idea of handmade books. She found and joined CBAS. Bookmaking is wonderful because it allows the creator to pursue calligraphy, watercolor, printmaking, photography and many other related arts as all might be used in the making of a book.
