Houston Printers Guild

March 5, 2016 @ 4:00 am - 6:00 am

The mission of the Printers Guild is to support The Printing Museum by promoting, practicing, and preserving the art of printing by the letterpress process.

Are you passionate about words, letters, typefaces, and books? Do you thrill to the sight and texture of old printed text and small-edition fine printing? Are you fascinated by the materials and machinery of handset and pre-digital printing? Then you may be a candidate for the Printers Guild. Come see what we do and consider becoming involved with the historic craft!

The Printers Guild generally has lectures, workshops, demonstrations, studio visits, or other activities scheduled each month. They also work on various group printing projects throughout the year. The Guild membership includes lifelong printers, hobby printers, new printers, and non-printers. They are a convivial group who enjoy welcoming guests and newcomers.

The Printers Guild meets once a month, usually on the first Saturday of every month, at 10:00 a.m., at The Printing Museum, 1324 W. Clay St., Houston, Texas 77019.

Organizer

Texas Booksellers Association

The Texas Booksellers Association is a group of independent booksellers and other book-related businesses focused in Texas.

The primary goal of the Association is to join together and represent local booksellers and supporters of the book community in their efforts to cultivate interest in literature and book collecting. We share the common goals of cultivating appreciation of books and the written word in the community, maintaining the vitality of the independent book trade, and promoting ethical trade practices.

We are always trying to expand our community outreach by providing educational programs through local colleges and promoting events and information about book arts.  We also hope to provide many additional benefits for our members.

We sponsor book shows in Austin, Fort Worth and Houston each year, where member and non-member exhibitors present books and related materials to the public.
