A trip to MMU Special Collections today was also a chance to see their latest exhibition, Material Matters - how different materials have been used in art, craft and design.  It's a fascinating range. including ceramics, wood, metal, enamel, glass and paper - and amongst the examples of paper use are artists' books by Mette Sofie Ambeck, Karen Pilling and Ron King.

During the two days of the fair, Special Collections will have a range of artists' books from their collection on show in the Special Collections Library Reading Room, for visitors to enjoy and handle.  They have also noticed there will be a demonstration of paper marbling at the fair, and to complement that they will be displaying some of their stunning marbled papers, including pieces by Tirza Ravilious, Golden Cockerel Press and Karli Frigge.  Some of the examples are jaw-droppingly stunning and have to be seen to be believed!  Don't pass up the opportunity to see them.
