John Willis Challenge 2023

Greetings all,

At our last meeting for 2023, we presented our works for the Challenge. This years challenge was to bind a copy of the Bonefolder by Ernst Collin. The online PDF was available to print our own copies so several different sizes and papers were used.

An interesting evening of discussion, and snacks as we concluded the years works. Our first meeting in the new year will be on the 4th Tuesday in February at St Faiths Glen Iris. Bindery will be open from 1pm.

- Jim, VBG President
