*Hybird Event* Show & Tell (with a lemon twist)

  • San Francisco Center for the Book 375 Rhode Island Street San Francisco, CA, 94103 United States (map)

Please Join us on Tuesday, April 18th from 6:00–8:15 pm for the Hand Bookbinders of California Board Meeting and a Show & Tell. Both will be held at the San Francisco Center for the Book.

The monthly business meeting will happen from 6–7 pm, followed by a brief beverage/snack break. At 7:15, we will start our presentation, introduce our speakers, and aim the camera and our attention on a project.

Two or three HBC members will present a bookbinding project in which a mistake was made… and then show and tell us how that led to a valuable lesson.

Bring along your favorite mistake with a silver lining, and let others know how to avoid that mistake.

We will wrap up at 8:15.

*More information about how to attend the Zoom meeting will be forthcoming in the next newsletter.
