Center for Book Arts’ Education Program strives to engage a wide audience, providing beginning students and professional artists alike with a comprehensive and technically challenging curriculum.

In addition to foundation coursework in letterpress printing, bookbinding, risograph, and works on paper, we provide structured opportunities for working artists from other media to expand their creative practice in bookmaking.
