An invitation to join:

Book Arts Santa Cruz is organization for everyone interested in the book arts.

In the early 1980s a group of Santa Cruz letterpress printers actively involved in making fine press books formed the Printers' Chappel of Santa Cruz. Today, because the world of the book has changed, and there are so many people interested in the book arts who are not letterpress printers, members of the SCPC have decided to create a new organization, Book Arts Santa Cruz. We welcome and want to include printers, printmakers, graphic designers, marblers, calligraphers, scrap bookers, binders, papermakers, book collectors, artists… in other words, everyone interested in the book arts, novices and professionals alike.

If you want to be part of BASC, send an email to Matt at bookartssantacruz@gmail.com, or call Peter at 475-1455

Come join them to celebrate the completion of their latest book: a limited edition of William Everson's poem "The Alder". (There will be a price this book competition, so bring your thinking caps.) 



This will also be a 'bon voyage' party they we will be leaving on the 27th for another wandering book artist road trip. They will be giving tours of the gypsy wagon.
