BookWorks is a community resource for print and book arts located in West Asheville, North Carolina. Through classes, exhibits, lectures, and annual events like BookOpolis and Edible Book Festival, BookWorks has become a gathering place for individuals with an interest in handmade books, papermaking, printmaking, and letterpress. We are pleased to provide space, equipment and technical support for artistic exploration, collaboration and the sharing of knowledge.
