The Oxford Guild of Printers has existed for over forty years, and membership includes some of Britain’s leading Fine Press printers, a wide range of design, printing and publishing professionals – from students to the retired – and a growing number of Fine Press collectors and dealers. Members come from places far from Oxford as well as near to it: from north of the Tay to west of the Atlantic.
Our objects are as follows:
As a member you will receive our email-only Newsletter which contains short articles of interest, notices of our forthcoming meetings, and classified advertisements. The Guild is a good way to share practical knowledge and to learn more. We act as a co-ordinating body for members and we make the funds from our subscription income and any donations available in the form of grants and prizes.
Our meetings feature a speaker of some distinction on a printing or book-related topic or take the form of a visit to a noted library, Press or museum. There is generally time for a stimulating interchange of news and ideas between members before the talk – and afterwards an opportunity to meet the speaker.
