Good afternoon, Hive friends!

There are only a couple of spots left in Saturday's Intro to Bookbinding workshop! Come learn basic vocabulary and tools for bookbinding---and make four to five books in two hours!

This workshop is a great base for your bookbinding educational journey, setting you up for success in whatever bookbinding course you'd like to take next.

Though we offer Intro to Bookbinding every first and third Saturday of the month, it tends to fill up quickly, often selling out!

Good afternoon, Hive friends!

As part of our YEAR END CAMPAIGN to raise $25,000 by the end of 2025, we've created this Facebook fundraiser, and hope that you'll help us share it widely!

As of RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND, we've already raised 11% of our $25,000 goal, thanks to some generous gifts from some very lovely folks who wanted to get a jump on their year end giving.

Please help us raise $1200 in this FB fundraiser by sharing it with your friends, neighbors, and whomever else you think might support community building through the book arts!

Let them know that they can support Hive's YEAR END CAMPAIGN via this FB fundraiser, or via our website OR:

Good evening, Hive friends!

There are still a couple of spots available in Shawn Sheehy's upcoming virtual workshop, in which you'll make a no-glue, no-stitch accordion book with a SLIPCASE!

All materials are included (shipped directly to your home!), and no experience necessary, but you MUST register ASAP (like, by next TUESDAY!), so Mr. Sheehy can ship out your materials kit in time!
