A selection of notebooks in the shop made by hand using old-stock vintage book cloth.
Join us this Saturday at the LCBA bindery for Introduction to Bookbinding and learn to make your own case-bound (hardback) notebooks by hand.
See you at the studio!
Just got back from the wonderful William Morris Society where we were doing a little research for our upcoming workshop at the Society in August.
After months of planning and organising (longer than we care to admit), we're excited to announce that today is the launch of the very first Kickstarter campaign by the London Centre for Book Arts.
We've recently taken on a lease of a new studio in Britannia Works to turn into a dedicated project space and library. Along with the new studio, we have plans for much needed improvements in the existing studio to accommodate the needs of our members and the community.
Donations will go directly towards:
refurbishment of the new & existing studio space
moving, cataloguing, and expanding our reference library
building a new space dedicated to reprographics and publishing
repair or replacement of key equipment.
We've got lots of rewards, including Making Books: a guide to creating hand-crafted books by the London Centre for Book Arts to be launched in August from Pavilion Books (you'll definitely be hearing more about this soon) – with more rewards to be announced.
Please take a look, and even if you can't contribute, it would be great help if you could spread the word to your friends. Every little bit helps!
As always, thanks for your support.

Next session of Introduction to Paper Marbling is Sunday 18 June. Learn the art of paper marbling and take home a collection of hand-marbled papers. Hope you can join us!
Next Mending and Sewing Circle is this Wed night from 6–9pm at LCBA. Come share and learn mending and hand-sewing skills and have a chat. Drop-ins welcome. The image above is from Nui Project, a long-running sewing project for people diagnosed with a variety of different cognitive, behavioral and developmental disorders or mental illness based in Kagoshima, Japan. Mending and Sewing Circle is organised by studio member Sam Whetton.
Photos from when we collaborated with Esme Winter to create bespoke letterpress printed invitations for the launch of Elephant Magazine. Learn how to prepare work and print on a press from start to finish in one of our Introduction to Letterpress workshops at the London Centre for Book Arts (upcoming session this Sunday).
Adjacent to the site in Swan Wharf is the London Centre for Book Arts, relevant to my project, working in the same industry. I had a closer look at the facilities avilable so that the new design and LCBA can work in a collaborative manner rather than be competitors
