At Big River Bindery we practice the art of the book: conserving and repairing books and paper items, making custom books and boxes for special occasions, and printing books and ephemera with custom designs using letterpress printing.

We use vintage bookbinding equipment, wood and metal type and antique presses, some over 100 years old. Workshops in letterpress printing and the book arts are listed under our Workshop tab.

Book Launch

Join us at Big River Bindery for the official launch of Hand Bound: The Creation and Reception of Contemporary Canadian Artists’ Publications, by writer and book artist Elijah Harrison. Pick up a physical copy, enjoy some refreshments, and make a print!

June 20th, 4-7 pm
94 Crockford Blvd, Unit 2, Scarborough, ON

Hand Bound analyses contemporary work in the field of artists’ publications, while also acting as part of that work. The book positions artists who are currently producing publication artworks in Canada, illuminating the relationships between them, the experiences of their development and reception, and their relevance as a medium, device, and way of making.
