Book Arts Groups

 

Book Arts Group

The Houston Book Arts Group at the Museum of Printing History was established in December 2005 to gather area artists whose work includes paper and book structures: printmaking, bookbinding, calligraphy, papermaking, letterpress, collage, and so forth. Our members number over 75, including instructors in the art departments of Houston’s universities, professional designers, and other artists – interested beginners as well as those with extensive experience. All are welcome at our monthly meetings, which are held the first Thursday of each month from 6 - 8 p.m.

These meetings combine an opportunity to display ideas and recent projects, to foster working connections among artists, and to teach and learn skills through hands-on workshops. The hands-on portions of our meetings have included Group members teaching classes on bookbinding, calligraphy, gilt stamping, paper decoration, letterpress printing, and many other techniques. In addition, interested members have produced collaborative projects as part of Group functions, and will be showing and selling their work at the Museum’s annual Book Fair.
