Artist Book One Day Workshop

The workshop Susie Wilson and I facilitated on 10th November was a great example of how much you can get done in a day when you don't even stop for tea breaks! (Ok we did stop for lunch but we almost had to enforce it.) Not that we intended to work everyone so hard, but there was a collective sense of focus and determination in the room that resulted in a wonderful collection of artist books by the end of the day.

Working with the city of Edinburgh as a broad theme, the books describe the architecture, green spaces and landmarks in a variety of media including monoprint, paper cut, ink and collage.

First ever post!

It's a rainy Tuesday afternoon and after a good discussion with my partner I have finally taken the first step towards getting myself a web presence.  So here is my very first blogspot.

Right now I'm an artist making artist's books, which vary greatly in structure and content.  I just completed an illustration course which I loved, and I also write short stories.  So I hope this blogspot can be a place where I share whatever it is that I'm creating!

I'm just about to exhibit at my first artist's book fair at the Poetry Library in Edinburgh, on Saturday 25th September, called By Leaves We Live.
