November Meeting: Willis Binding Challenge Showcase

Join us for our last meeting of 2025 for the showcase of our annual Willis Binding Challenge, followed by an end-of-year catch-up with light supper. 

This year’s challenge celebrates the intricate art of periodical bindings: a unique craft that balances structural strength with aesthetic refinement. Participants have been tasked with binding three years of Morocco Bound, transforming these journals into enduring and elegant volumes to be showcased and judged on the night. 

There is still time to bind your entry!
If you’re wanting to enter, we encourage you to join in. Feel free to email us (bookbindingvictoria{at}gmail.com) for the Morocco Bound files. There is no entry requirements, simply bring your book to the meeting. 

📅 Tuesday 25th November 2025
⏰ 7pm to 9pm
📍Rear Hall, St. Faith's Church, 8 Charles St., Glen Iris
