Newsletter Project Archive - Hiber-Making 2027

Hiber-Make 2027 

CBBAG education is looking for some volunteers!

The idea of the hiber-make project is to gather makers who can commit a bit of time to make at least one book arts project between Jan 1 and March 31.

CBBAG has an archive of around 70 projects that were published in the newsletter between 1984 and 2009.

CBBAG will be making all of these projects available to members online, but they need to be updated first. 

The archive has all kinds of book arts and bookbinding projects with instructions and illustrations at varying levels of detail.

We are looking for volunteers who can make at least one project from this archive and document it so we can expand on the instructions. 

Volunteers will be given access to the project archive to pick & choose projects based on their interest. 

Once all the volunteer information is included in the project archive (which is planned for Mid-April),  all members will be invited to register for access.

Exactly what is hiber-making – what are you getting yourself into by volunteering??

• Volunteers will get an invitation in January to set up a free Thinkific account and log in to the workshop.
• Pick your choices of projects – at least one!
• Email education@cbbag saying which projects you want to tackle. 
• Have a few choices in mind, as you might not get your first choice because we only need two people per project. 
• Join a planning Zoom meeting in mid-January to answer any questions and chat about the plans. 
• Make the project(s) over the winter. 
• Take pictures of your process or, at minimum, just the end product,
• Label your photos with the project number (to help us stay organized).
• Write up any tips, tricks or cautionary tales that you found out while making the project (especially if the original directions were not so clear).
• Email your tips & photos at the very latest by March 31 to education@cbbag.ca

This is a pay-it-forward model to help leverage the CBBAG newsletter project library to create new free educational content for members which will be launched to the full membership in April 2027. 

Sign up by December 31 to volunteer.
