Our theme this month is books from recycled materials – so gather up the junk mail, last years calendar and those cereal boxes.

Morning meetings on the first and third Wednesday of the month will continue online, pop in from 10:30 and bind some artists’ books or fold some ‘zines along with us while catching up on book goings on – 7th and 21st of September.

We will hold the virtual meetings at the regular meetup time – just email or DM us on instagram with your Skype username and we will add you to the group.
