Exhibit: Beyond Bookbinding

This is an exhibition of the work of members of the North Bennet Street School Bookbinding Community

Students, alumni, current and former faculty, and program advisors were invited to submit work in a broad range of categories. The result is a visual feast that answers a question they often get, “What do you do after you study bookbinding?” That answer includes the classic Fine Bindings often seen in bookbinding exhibitions (these works, sometimes known as “Design Bindings” or “Artistic Bindings” are exhibition oriented staples). But Beyond Bookbinding also includes book repair and conservation, historical binding structure models, period-style re-bindings, artists’ books, decorated paper, letterpress printing... and even some stone carved lettering.

Gallery hours are 9-3 Monday through Saturday. Extended hours, including Tuesday and Thursday evenings, available by appointment (please contact bookbinding department head Jeff Altepeter at jaltepeter@nbss.edu).
