Manchester Artists’ Book Fair 2012
I had a lovely time at this year’s Manchester Artists’ Book Fair, selling books at the Hot Bed Bookstars table. As usual, there was a fantastic array of book artists from all over the UK in attendance, including Lucy May Schofield, Elizabeth Willow, Gemma Lacey and Sue Shaw, Oliver Flude and Lucy Roscoe. It was sheer pleasure to ogle and play with the beautiful and ingenious creations on the various tables. It was also nice to sell some of my own cards and handmade books, Humbugs, Origami Girl, Bestiary and a new collaboration between Sam Horsley and myself, The Burrower’s Adventure. This last edition, glued and pressed moments before the deadline, tells the story of a good-natured fellow named the Burrower and his heroic equine friend, Mr Furious.

Manchester Artists’ Book Fair, 2011
I’ve just been to the 6th Manchester Artists’ Book Fair, a free yearly event that celebrates book arts, small press publishing and traditional printmaking methods such as linocut, woodcut, etching, screen printing and letterpress. The fair included 50 stands showing artists’ books, zines and the works of small publishers from all around the UK. There were workshops and demonstrations for all to enjoy and participate in. I created three limited editions of handmade books for the fair, Origami Girl (pictured), Bestiary and Humbugs, an illustrated haiku about some very tasty snails.
