Join us for Open Studio at the Book Arts Workshop!
Unleash your creativity using our letterpress and bookbinding studios. Come explore, create, and make your ideas come to life in a supportive and inspiring environment!
What To Know
- To use Letterpress Studio during Open Studio, complete an orientation session.
- We offer - but don't require - orientation sessions for bookbinding where you can be introduced to book structures in varying degrees of difficulty.
- We supply some materials free of charge for projects being made in the Book Arts Workshop. If your project requires any unique supplies, you'll need to purchase them yourself.
- See the Studio Guidelines for more information.
The Book Arts Workshop team is always on hand to help you during Open Studio, but please plan to work independently. Want to learn more? Find tutorials in our Resource Guide for more information.
