Focus on Book Arts (FOBA) is an inspiring, hands-on organization where creativity, craftsmanship, and camaraderie come to life! Whether you’re a seasoned book artist or just starting, FOBA offers a welcoming space to explore the fascinating world of book arts.

At FOBA, we’re passionate about sharing the art and craft of bookbinding, printing, decorative paper techniques, papermaking, and more. Our late-June signature event—the FOBA Conference—is a five-day, in-person extravaganza held every two years at Western Oregon University in Monmouth, Oregon. With more than 200 attendees, expert-led workshops, a bustling Trade Show, an inspiring Faculty-Staff Exhibition, and lively evening events, this conference is a dream destination for anyone who wants to explore all the possibilities of handcrafted books.
