Programs

Hands-on bookbinding workshops from BOOKFORGE, where traditional craft, material intelligence, and contemporary creativity meet. Learn to fold, sew, bind, decorate, and build books by hand.

Soft Socials at Erie Labor Temple are low-pressure weekly gatherings for reading, writing, making, and listening

Big culture nights—award shows, reveals, and watch parties—treated like a live room. Come for the broadcast. Stay for the crowd.

Two sides. One topic. No panel drift. Short rounds, hard arguments, and a room that votes with its nervous system.

A curated market with a twist: every edition runs on a constraint—repair, text-in-objects, salvage rules. Come buy. Come trade ideas.

Workshops built for hands: ritual objects, material experiments, and practical making. You leave with something real.
