Calligraphy & Book Binding with Book Arts Lab

Tuesday, May 13, 2025 from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm

The MacOdrum Library Book Arts Lab is an experiential learning space located in the heart of Carleton University’s main library. Staff and faculty are invited to a one hour, in-person workshop exploring the basics of calligraphy and book binding crafts in a practical, “hands-on” manner.

“Write with a feather quill or steel-nib dip pen in a book you’ve bound yourself, and get a feel for at least half of the history of western civilization, following in the footsteps of the ancients!”

Larry Thompson, Master Printer / Subject Specialist
