Participant Spotlight: BookWorks

Asheville BookWorks is a community resource for print and book arts in Western NC and beyond.

BookWorks offers a full spectrum of classes and workshops covering all aspects of book arts. Instructors are drawn mainly from the immensely talented and growing book arts community here in western North Carolina, many of whom are nationally and internationally recognized.

BookWorks has become a gathering place for individuals with an interest in handmade books, printmaking, letterpress and related arts, through our exhibits, lectures and community outreach.

We are pleased to provide space and equipment for artistic exploration, collaboration and sharing of knowledge.

In addition to the upcoming Holiday Art Walk, BookWorks has another special event planned for this very weekend:

Interlude Editions will debut the first Cold Mountain Collection on Saturday evening, November 22, from 7-9 pm, at a celebration at Asheville BookWorks. Starting this year, and annually hereafter, Interlude Editions will publish and offer for sale an edition of a fine-press, handcrafted artist’s book, in three different formats: Deluxe, Collector, and Chapbook. Proceeds of the sale of the Collection will benefit Interlude Editions, which funds residencies at Asheville BookWorks for artists wishing to create limited editions of artists’ books and fine arts prints for education, exhibition, and distribution.
