For years I have been asked if I would take on interns or let people who love making books use my equipment. In response to theses requests I am starting a Wednesday night work group in my bookbinding and letterpress studio. This is open to anyone who has had experience making hand bound books. (If you don't have experience then you can take one of my classes offered-check the meet up group for Bella Forte Classes) My studio is well equipped and participants are able to use board shears, nipping presses, laying presses, gold stamping machine, paper drill and more. Materials can be purchased at the studio or bring your own. Bring your own small tools and glue please. If you have the bookbinding bug then these Wednesday nights are just what the doctor ordered! Studio is at 2202 Alter Street Work group will start in July 2011 Price is $35 per session 6-9pm RSVP via e-mail and confirm your space with a Paypal payment. bridget@bellafortebooks.com Feel free to check out my web site www.bellafortebooks.com This is not a formal instructional class however limited instruction will happily be given. Let me know if you need to purchase materials. I will have available: book board by the sheet, book cloth by the foot, decorative papers from around the world, bulk text and cover weight paper, ribbon. Space will be limited to 6 people per evening so every body will have access to equipment. Easy free street parking. DISCOUNT given when you sign up for 2 or more sessions at a time. Flat files drawers are available to rent for storage of your materials etc at $10 month-limited availability.

1 session $35

2 consecutive sessions $60
