About

Based in what was once the heart of east London’s print industry, the London Centre for Book Arts (LCBA) is an artist-run, open-access studio offering education programmes for the community and affordable access to resources for artists and designers.

The Centre’s mission is to foster and promote book arts and artist-led publishing in the UK through collaboration, education, distribution, and by providing open-access to printing, binding and publishing facilities.

The unique facilities at LCBA are available to everyone regardless of background, education or experience.

After several years of planning and acquiring hard-to-find equipment and machinery, the studio was established  in October 2012, becoming the first and only centre of its kind in the country.
