Society of Bookbinders Book Arts Day.

The event last Saturday started with a talk by David Jury. He spoke about some of the various collaborations he has worked on. Having studied and taught design, David enjoys working with text and traditional letterpress  using it in a variety of modern layouts. The image above shows an example of his collaboration with Pete Kennedy. Pete was also present and entertained everyone with one of his unique performances of apulhed. Alongside the performance visitors were also  treated to a glimpse of his beautifully illustrated books. 
 
The high quality of work on show highlights the diversity being produced within the book arts community- from the beautifully crafted work of Dr Paul Garcia, exquisite hand made paper s by Mandy Brennan, the magic pen drawings from Chrissie Nichols (inkpotandpen), to Caroline Penns intimate small books. When exhibiting it isn't always possible to get around to see all the work on display so there were others I glimpsed but unfortunately didn't get to speak with the artists!  
Various demonstrations followed in the afternoon by Batool Showghi, Sumi Perera, Tracey Bush and myself before sadly the day came to a close! A huge thank you to the organisers for bringing the event together.

2b mentioned in such glowing terms in your blog is a privilege. Thank you. Several people told me the little gig made them feel 'so relaxed'.

    Welcome.
    ​Here you will find a gathering of thoughts, notes, and images which inform my work.  A "virtual sketchbook" of projects and ideas as they evolve.
