At Big River Bindery we don’t want to have all the fun, so we offer workshops in printing and binding so you can try it out yourself. See the listings below for both long and short-term classes you can take.

Join us in-person for workshops at our new Scarborough location. These workshops happen evenings and weekends and offer topics hard to replicate on-line. The bindery equipment is available for use and materials are included in the price of the workshop.
