BOOK ARTIST SLIDE REGISTRY
The Center for Book Arts maintains a slide file containing slides and photographs of bookworks created by the Center's artist members along with biographical information, resumes, writings and articles on exhibitions. The file is available to curators, teachers, researchers, students, writers, and artists. To view slides please make an appointment in advance.
WORKSPACE & STUDIO RENTAL PROGRAM
The Center provides artists with low-cost workspace in our hand bindery and letterpress printshop facilities. This fully-equipped workshop allows artists to use special bookmaking tools and unique machinery that most would not have access to otherwise. The Center's facility includes a foundry type letterpress printshop with four Vandercook proof presses, a Charles Brand etching press, a 19th Century Washington hand press and several Peerless platen (clamshell) presses.
Bindery equipment includes a 36" power paper cutter, two board shears, a hot stamping press, three
large standing presses, lying presses, and numerous nipping presses and sewing frames. Students and
artists interested in working on their book projects can rent workspace at the Center and have access
to this binding and printing equipment. Members pay only $12 per hour and non-members pay $17 per
hour. Users of the printing presses, guillotine or hot stamping press must demonstrate a knowledge
of the machine's proper operation. The Center also offers members use of the workspace by the month
for $200, which allows unlimited usage during regular hours and includes a shelf for the storage of
materials and works in progress. Monthly renters can also apply for after-hours access to the
facility. The Center also has a limited number of private studios for rent. For more information
about workspace rentals contact the Center.
