The Canberra Craft Bookbinders’ Guild has members from all around Canberra and the ACT region, and a few from further outwards in NSW. Members meet every two months, with a newsletter issued every alternate month.

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 issues.

Meeting times

Regular meetings are held at 7:30pm at the Woden Community Room, Corinna St. Woden. For more detailed directions, please go here.

The next regular meeting is on 10 June, 2010.

For a complete schedule of 2010 meetings go to the events page.

The Guild also conducts and hosts workshops for members and the public and publishes its newsletter every two months. A new addition is our library resource page.

Please keep checking our events page for the latest news on Guild activities.

We are also building up an archive of tutorials on various bookbinding methods.
