Guild of Bookworkers
Southeast Chapter
The Guild of Book Workers is a national organization of bookbinders, book artists, calligraphers, conservationists, paper makers, printers, and marblers, founded in 1906 to "establish and maintain a feeling of kinship and mutual interest among workers in the several hand book crafts". The Guild sponsors a yearly conference, organizes traveling exhibitions of member's works, publishes a newsletter and a journal, and maintains lists of suppliers and study opportunities.
The Southeast Chapter of the Guild was organized in 19??. Our mission is to provide a regional community for artists and artisans interested in all aspects of working with books. We organize presentations and workshops throughout the year and offer our members many opportunities to show their work and share their knowledge. In addition to supporting those who make books, we hope to broaden public interest in hand book arts, conservation, and restoration. For more information about the officers of the Southeast chapter, please visit the Officers page.
