Simon Goode and the LCBA

I have a clear memory, as a second year undergraduate student of Book Arts & Crafts, of seeing the dramatic book arts installation created by the final year student, Simon Goode, at the London College of Communication a few years back in the mid noughties.

Conversations held with Simon at networking events were engaging and full of passion for Book Arts.  Simon spoke of his growing collection of printing and book binding equipments (then being stored in a distant location) and we shared our passion for passing on the knowledge of the world of Book Arts.

As I continue to pass on my knowledge through workshops and events, I am also really excited by the new London Centre for Book Arts founded by Simon.  Following an enviable tour of the US, visiting binderies and key book arts locations, Simon has returned and set up LCBA.

I hope to get to visit the new venue very soon...
