FREE Letterpress Printing, Maze Bookmaking, and Hand Lettering at SFCB!
The new SFCB location rocks. This Friday they are inviting all of San Francisco to come by, check it out, and learn some of the awesome skills they teach and feature every day.
The San Francisco Center for the Book is all about the joys of books and bookmaking. It’s a place for Bay Area book artists to practice their craft, and they offer more than 300 workshops each year on things like traditional bookbinding, cutting-edge printing techniques and experimental book forms.
