ABOUT VINTAGE PAGE DESIGNS
Vintage Page Designs is an online book arts community based in Groton, Massachusetts. We provide bookbinding tutorials and resources for beginner and advanced bookmakers alike, and we encourage artists and crafters to express their ideas and creativity through handmade books. It’s our belief that anyone can create a handmade book—it doesn’t require expensive tools or equipment.
We open membership to the Handmade Book Club a few times a year, so keep an eye out for those announcements!
