We organise a regular book exchange between members and publish a newsletter - The Folder - for all members 3 times a year. The newsletter provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and expertise on the making of little calligraphic books.

Participating members in the main bookswap make 6  books and receive a set of 6 books made by other members, a Colophon Booklet explaining something of the technique and inspiration behind each book, and a set of photographs of all the bookswap entries.

Participants in the light bookswap make 3 books and receive a set of 3 books made by other members plus supporting material as above.

Participants in the Solitary Book submit their book for photography after which it is returned to them plus supporting material as above.

We exhibit the book exchanges, if requested, at meetings of the Calligraphy and Lettering Arts Society in the UK, of whom we are recognised as a Special Interest Group.

Membership is open to CLAS members and other interested individuals: go to the join us page for details.

On this site you will find a gallery of books from previous bookswaps. Enjoy!
