The Book Arts Program (BAP) consists of the Letterpress Studio and Bindery Studio. It is open to all levels of experience; instruction on using the printing presses and in binding books is given. There is no fee to use the studios or to attend workshops but participants are expected to follow posted guidelines for cleaning up after themselves and putting away type. Failure to do so may result in studio privileges being revoked. The studios are open Fall, Winter, and Spring terms. For more information see the Mission Statement.
FALL TERM HOURS: The Fall Session of the Book Arts Workshop runs from Thursday, September 25 through Wednesday, December 10, 2008.
