Montana Institute for Book Arts - Summer Workshops REGISTRATION OPEN (11 Mar 2026)

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 05:00:00 GMT

The MONTANA INSTITUTE FOR BOOK ARTS is a summer program that brings fine artists, writers, craftspeople, and motivated students from across the country to share their professional knowledge and love of bookmaking. The two sessions are split between a historic research station on Flathead Lake and the University of Montana's campus in Missoula. Students will be able to choose from a range of courses, including bookbinding, papermaking, letter carving, and a printing workshop on a 1936 Hacker Test press, home of Bear Scratch Press.

The Institute supports high quality craftsmanship within a flourishing literary and arts community. Between immersive workshops, there will be opportunities to visit the MONTANA MUSEUM OF ART AND CULTURE, where instructors at the Institute will exhibit their art, readings, wilderness excursions, cozy nights under the stars, and a chance to meet fellow lovers of the printed word.
