The tenth fair now over

20/10/2015

The tenth Manchester Artists' Book Fair is now history.  We held workshops, had a beautiful Western Wilds exhibition, and set up a Reading Room.  There were definitions from a Lost Dictionary and, across in MMU Special Collections, talks to introduce their collection of artists' books.  And, of course,  lots of lovely and incredibly varied work from all over Britain - book arts cover so much ground. 

The 'previous fairs' page has been updated to direct you to this year's fair as well as earlier ones, and there are plenty of photos - either to remind you of what you saw or to let you know what you missed. 

What on earth shall we do to make next year's fair as full?  Watch this space - but not just yet :)

Why not book a place on one of our free workshops at the fair?

As this is our tenth year, we've organised lots of lovely workshops for people, all for FREE.

You can make your own book, for instance - every one of those book artists who have been part of this year's Hot Bed Press book arts residencies is running a workshop, giving you the opportunity to make a concertina book, a turkish map fold, a flowerfold and/or a beak book.  With the beak book you can also create your own piece of deathless prose by having a go at blackout storytelling (intrigued?  Book a place).

Or you can join Book Transformations and (guess what) transform an old book into something exciting and sculptural, just by folding and a little bit of sticking.

There are limited places on the workshops, so we're taking bookings before the event.  Just look at the timetable on the 'what to do' page, choose the workshops you fancy, then use the contact form to let us know which ones you'd like to do. You'll take away something you've created yourself - it could be the beginning of something beautiful!
