This is the only resource you need to learn bookbinding.

Established in 2019, the club has an extensive archive of over
50 step-by-step bookbinding projects with clear videos and directions.

And what happens when you make all these books? We have a monthly guest artist to help you fill your books. Past classes have included printmaking, hand lettering, writing, collage and slow stitching.

The best part is you’ll belong to an inspiring and supportive community to cheer you on, including in person meet-ups.

I love the wonderful support of the community especially for a beginning bookmaker!

HBC has been a treasured way for me to express my creative side and feel a sense of accomplisment by creating a book that is work of art, is handmade, useful, and beautiful.

I have learned so much about making books - the basics & a number of different book bindings & structures.

I love the clear instruction Ali offers in the videos and notes. I also love being part of the bookmaking community on Facebook - I can ask questions and see the work others have done for inspiration.

I can't put into words how much I have learned at the HBC! The lesson videos are fantastic and everything is explained in a thorough manner.

The best thing I have gained from being a member (besides book binding skills) is the community, on Facebook and locally. I have made wonderful, lifelong friends who I now call my "Creative Sisters", and we meet monthly but connect through text messages daily. We have a very busy, art filled text thread!"
