Make’r Good is a small charitable and creative effort — crafting and fundraising unite!

It all started in the winter of 2005 when a good friend of mine signed up for an “Urban Trek” to the Philippines and needed to raise some funds in order to get herself there. Given my bookbinding skills and eagerness to teach, she asked if I would lead a bookbinding workshop to help her raise some moola. And so it began.

Thus far, Make’r Good projects have centred around small bookbinding workshops where participants learn to craft books, eat some yummy lunch, and listen to stories about the community development work that the workshop fees will support.

We’re Toronto-based, just little, and dreaming big. If you’ve got a cause you’d like to raise awareness of, or are interested in learning to bookbind, let us know. We’re always up for making good things for good causes.
