My husband booked (bad pun, sorry not sorry) is a book binding class here. It was a blast. Got to meet really cool people from all different walks of life. The class was really interesting. The instructor was patient and helpful. And at the end of the class we had our own handmade books to take home. Definitely a cool way to spend a Saturday. Looking forward to trying a print making class!

Lovely place, love the book lined shelves, art and conversation. Attended a workshop today which was intimate and fun. The Kozo exhibit was inspiring and educational.

This place is amazing- all of the programs they offer, classes and workshops, as well as art openings and readings. They do the Edible Book Contest every year (I always participate!) and that is amazingly great fun! They always have an art show on display and have an opening to go with it. Their letter press in the basement is authentic and no one else does anything like it. Their shop is full of great prints and cards- I own so many posters from this place, I lost count. They used to host something called Big Night which was a great evening full of poetry reading and food. Their annual craft fairs around Christmas as other holidays are always a treat- they curate the best vendors, and I love everything they offer. Definitely check out their classes, events, readings, openings, etc- everything they do is great, and open to everyone. A real place for the community to gather and grow.

Lovely very unique little shop. Their book making and screen printing classes are tons of fun and its really satisfying to go home with something youve made. Lots of cute little things you can buy- prints, postcards, posters, paper flowers etc. Quirky literary locals are bound to dig it.

Fun to see even if you are just passing through, but even better if you are around and can take a class or attend one of their events. The Center has a basement full of antique letter presses that you can take a class and learn to use, an art gallery on the first floor, and a small store area with books and art materials that you wont find anywhere else in the city.

WNYBAC is a great literary non-for-profit maker-space in the CBD, that hosts artists, offers print making services and classes. If youre looking for an analog infusion into your digital world, stop in. Small gifts to remember Buffalo by if you are passing through.Stopped in after work for the opening of the Bob Fleming: Printed Lives exhibition. I was very impressed with the variety of his prints WNYBAC was able to display in this space.

Neat little space/store with plenty of books and book-related items such as stationary, notebooks, abs coloring books. The basement was filed with old printing machinery, and you could make christmas cards using some of the tools.

Book killers 😡 books are made to read and not cut up for crummy art.
