Team Builder Workshops


Team Building

Bring your team in for a workshop to learn book binding or letterpress printing! Choose from three options where a staff member will lead your team through an interactive, hands on tutorial. Everyone will leave with a piece of art at the end of the workshop. Please contact workshops@sfcb.org to schedule your visit or to inquire about a custom experience in our studio.


Make a Hard-cover Book

Participants will start by printing the covers to their book, then fold, tip, and sew
together this lovely variation on a traditional binding. After the covers are fastened
down, the book is trimmed on three edges and the corners are rounded for a
beautiful finish and final look.
