Monique Lallier and Don Etherington have opened their personal studio for AAB classes. The Lallier/Etherington studio is (as one can imagine) a beautiful, comfortable and fully equipped facility. The studio is located in Summerfield, North Carolina, a suburb of Greensboro. Teaching from Summerfield will allow Monique and Don to work from home and avoid traveling. Class size in Summerfield is limited to five students.
Greensboro is home to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, as well as Etherington Conservation Services in nearby Browns Summit, the company Don founded in 1987. If time allows, students may visit the extensive bookbinding library at the University, that houses the largest collection of Don and Monique’s bindings, and get a personal tour of Don’s company where a variety of interesting conservation projects are in progress.
Summerfield Housing
Summerfield has a number of affordable hotels and extended stay accommodations. There is an apartment building five miles from the Lalliler/Etherington studio where students can share accommodations. Once enrolled, the Academy can assist with securing accommodations and pairing classmates if you are interested in sharing lodging and rental cars, if needed. Greensboro has a large commercial airport that is about a 15 minute drive from Summerfield and the Lallier/Etherington studio.
