MEMBERSHIP

We are so glad you are interested in PSBA Membership. We are proud of our community of book artists. Here’s what some of our members say:

“Participating in PSBA for the last ten years has been a transformative experience. I wish to express my gratitude to the instructors, community artists, guest speakers, mentors and kindred spirits for providing instruction, opportunities, feedback and inspiration.” – Jan Ward

“As a new artist-resident of Tacoma, I found PSBA to be a transformative oasis for learning, sharing, exploring and exhibiting, with a diverse and inclusive membership that sparks my creativity.” – Elaine Keenan

“If not for PSBA, I would not have become a book artist. Each day reminds me of how the organization expanded my views, rekindled my love for books, and most importantly, made me a better artist.  Mark Hoppmann
