The Canadian Book Arts List was created to improve communication within the bookbinding, book arts, letterpress printing, printmaking, and book conservation community in Canada. Anyone who is part of the Canadian community is welcome to post to the group. This group is meant as a safe place to share opportunities, discuss issues and ask questions – be kind to one another.
Please use this group to raise issues, ask questions (including questions about materials, methods, procedures…), share job/internship opportunities, share research, connect with one another, etc. We ask that workshop and event postings be located in Canada or online.
This group is not associated with any institution or organization. It was formed on the independent initiative of a group of book and paper artists. [Current managers: Andrew Huot & Robin Canham]
The Canadian Book Arts List has a zero tolerance policy for racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and other forms of intolerance.
