Vinculum

Since 1974, Vinculum has showcased the creativity, skill and diversity of Association of Handcraft Printers members. Each contributor submits a printed A5 sheet of their own design, which is gathered with others into a collaborative publication that celebrates contemporary letterpress and handcraft printing in New Zealand.

The name Vinculum comes from the Latin word meaning "a bond", "link" or "tie", reflecting the publication's origins as a means of connecting printers, sharing ideas and encouraging excellence in the craft. Vinculum predates the Association's current name and remains one of its most enduring traditions.

Copies are distributed to contributors and preserved in major library and museum collections, ensuring that Vinculum continues to connect printers while documenting and celebrating their work for future generations.
