The Nova Scotia Book Arts Group is hosting a handbound book swap!
- What is a handbound book swap?
Make a book, bring it to the meeting, and swap it for a book made by someone else.
- Who can participate?
Anyone who is, or wants to be, involved with NSBAG. All bookbinding skill levels are welcomed and encouraged to participate, but of course participation is entirely optional.
- When will the swap take place?
We will swap the books at our November meeting at the Halifax Central Library. (The specific date will be scheduled later.)
- What kind of book should you make?
It should be a blank book with height and width dimensions somewhere in the 5" to 9" range (14cm to 24cm). You can utilize whatever bookbinding techniques you like and make something that you'd be proud to share! Please include a colophon or a note with your name and details about the binding techniques and the materials used.
- How will the swapping be done?
The books will be swapped randomly and blindly with the other swap participants. Bring your book to the meeting in November. Everyone who brings a book will get a different book to take home. Please wrap your book in brown paper or put it in a bag before you come. The books will be numbered and then participants will draw numbers and take the corresponding package. Imagine the suspense!
Send us an email (novascotiabookarts@gmail.com) if you have any questions!
