Hi Bookbinding students,
We're looking forward to getting started and realizing that summer break is melting away. Hopefully this letter will help you prepare to hit the ground running in September.
Our New Student Welcome page provides a full overview of what you need to take care of before you start at NBSS. This includes everything from attending a virtual orientation to purchasing MBTA passes. Tool purchasing information will be shared with you next week. Expect to pay about $400 for your Bookbinding starter tool kit.
Additional details about class hours, the Guild of Book Workers, class readings, and what to bring in the first few days are also listed on the Welcome page. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me at jaltepeter@nbss.edu. (And please also email us ASAP from an email address you would like to use for our Google Group, which is how we will communicate a lot of class information.)
On behalf of us and everyone at the School, welcome to our community! We look forward to working with you in the months ahead.
Our best,
