The Book Arts Show and Sale is also an opportunity for book artists, bookbinders, and letterpress folk to meet others working in related disciplines and to discover new techniques, methods, or materials. Find out about the wonderful CBBAG workshops offered in the Ottawa area and all across Canada.  We offer courses in professional bookbinding techniques as well as fun one-day workshops to get your creative juices flowing.
