About the Book Arts League

For 25 years we've been teaching all ages and all backgrounds the artistic skills in bookmaking – from calligraphy & typography to printing & hand bookbinding. We now reside at the Groundworks Art Lab - East location. We offer hands on instruction and guidance for students and the community at large. Our collection of historic equipment provides insights into the history of communication and is available for public use either in class or rented studio time.
 

Our activities are open to all persons, groups, and classes of people. We are family-friendly, and we offer classes and programs appealing to everyone from children to professional artists and typographers. And although we encourage membership, it is by no means required to participate.

Educational programming outside of our printshop classroom experience includes seasonal open houses, outreach demonstrations at various off-site venues, and other free events at our farmhouse like the monthly Type Meetup – a forum for students and professionals to learn about letterforms.
 

The Book Arts League all-volunteer board are recognized professionals in their respective fields.
