The City and the Book - Wild Binders Artists' Books Group 2025 7th June
Unlock Your Creativity: Monthly Gathering for Artists' Bookbinders
The City and the Book is our three-part Artists’ book journey into the exploration of research, inspiration, narrative and book-making.
Immerse yourself in three sessions of artistic connection and inspiration! Whether you're a seasoned creative bookbinder, a beginner, an artist or just curious, join us this set of three monthly gatherings tailored for drawing, printmaking, drawing, and artists’ creative bookbinding. Expand your skills, share your stories, and dive into the vibrant world of artists' books.
What to Expect
Each session is a journey of creativity, featuring:
Exploration & Inspiration: Participate in outings to draw, photograph, and gather ideas.
Unique Book Structures: Experiment with innovative bookmaking techniques.
Creative Prompts: Spark your imagination with guided prompts.
Materials & Techniques: Work with diverse materials to expand your artistic expression.
Connection & Collaboration: Bond with fellow artists over shared passions.
This is a space for exploration and experimentation, not a formal class. Beginner bookbinders are warmly welcome; no prior experience in printmaking, drawing, or bookbinding is necessary.
Session Schedule
Each session includes three meet-ups, from 10 - 2.30pm:
7th June Inspiration Day: Research, draw, photograph, and gather ideas. The first meet-up shall be held at the fish market. We will gather at a meeting place. Further information shall be provided.

Materials & Participation
A suggested materials list will be provided (optional), or a materials fee, usually no more than $20 per session.
Bring your favourite supplies: stamp pads, watercolours, papers, illustrations, photocopies, paints, pencils, etc.
Enjoy tea and cakes while connecting with other participants!
Attendance is flexible but encouraged for the full experience.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business.
Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world.
