September Meeting: How are you going with the Willis Challenge?

Our upcoming September meeting will be a great opportunity to share your progress on the Willis Binding Challenge: binding three years’ worth of Moroccan Bound. Members are encouraged to bring in their work to get feedback, use the bindery’s resources, or simply showcase what they’ve accomplished so far. If you haven’t started yet, this is the perfect time to bring along the printed folios (digital files are linked below) and begin your project. We look forward to seeing many entries revealed at the November meeting!
