About

Join us for an informal gathering to share and discuss books of all kinds. Come meet fellow book arts enthusiasts.  Everyone is welcome!

We'll have a group of artists from Puget Sound Book Arts and BARN displaying and discussing their work, including Donna Lettersee, Gina Pisello, and Pamela Wachtler-Fermanis. We invite you to bring your own books to display and share with the group.

In addition, we'll have a simple botanical printing activity to make lovely fall themed bookmarks! All supplies will be provided.
