Bookmaking Club Unrecognized

Mission Statement
The Bookmaking Club will act both as a support group for students who have previous knowledge of bookmaking, and also a way to introduce the book arts to the wider Hampshire Community. During meetings group members will work on creating new structures, and discuss or work on pre-existing projects. The Bookmaking club will also act as a way of bringing down the costs of bookmaking for beginning book artists and continuing book artists by supplying the use of specialized tools and allowing for group discounted materials. Bookmaking Club also hopes to put together a library of both books on bookmaking and of handmade books by students and members. As books and literature become increasingly digital, The Bookmaking Club hopes to spark new interest in physical, handmade books, handmade type and the book arts. The Bookmaking Club can act as an additional lab time and support group for the “Artists’ Books” class.
