FOCUS ON BOOK ARTS

FOCUS ON BOOK ARTS (FOBA) was launched as the Focus Conference under the Oregon Book Arts Guild (the Guild) in 1993: A 5-Day conference held biennially in Oregon. Every other year we hold a 5-Day conference. Today the conference attracts over 200 people from around the world: 1, 2 and 3-Day Workshops led by Industry Experts. Workshops are taught by the very best in the fields of bookbinding, printing, decorating papers, paper making, book design and publishing. FOBA is an opportunity to network, learn and share. With five days of workshops — along with a Trade Show, Artists’ Fair, Keynote Speaker, Faculty-Staff Exhibit and several evening receptions —FOBA is an opportunity for networking and learning new skills in the various areas of book arts.
