Canberra Craft Bookbinders' Guild Inc

Group interested in bookbinding, paper arts and book conservation. Meets 7:30pm second Thursday of every second month.

The Canberra Craft Bookbinders’ Guild has members from all around Canberra and the ACT region. A few from further outwards in NSW, Qld, SA and VIC. Members meet every two months, with newsletter  ‘Raised Bands’ published every two months.

The Guild objectives are:

To promote and exhibit the art of the hand-bound book.
To maintain the traditional craft bookbinding skills.
To seek to exert a progressive influence on the design and technique of bookbinding.

We have a variety of interests within the Guild, from traditional craft bookbinding skills through to alternative book arts experimentation. Activities and meetings are organised to engage with many of these interests.
