Book Art Object

Way back in July I posted something about putting together an Artists' Book Club together and lo! A few months on, may I present (drum roll and fanfare...) "Book Art Object" which is a group, a blog and a project all rolled into one. The group is currently working around a text which is a poem by Australian poet Rosemary Dobson, title "Learned Absence". It is a poem about emptiness after loss - presumably the loss of a relationship… Continue

We cant stop watching this! It captures major action in all of our studios: printmaking, hand-papermaking, letterpress, and book binding. The video has been circ… Continue

The benefits of going on a course are many if, as was the case here, your tutor is knowledgeable, engaging and flexibl… Continue
