Bristol continous landscape cards
These are the continuous landscape cards I used in my recent workshop for children at Bristol Central Library. They're small here, but I'll blog the whole set at higher resolutions over the coming days. They depict some recognisable Bristol landmarks and events as well as made up stuff.
The idea is that basically the kids make up a blank accordion fold book and use these like a 'sticker album' – ie as tip-ins to fill up the pages. Of course, being an accordion, they can match up different edges of the book and create different juxtapositions of images.
The scans here are slightly rougher than I want them to be for my handout resources on the website – so that version will take a little longer, and will be accompanied by the full instructions for making up the blank book, too.
Meanwhile, I hope you'll enjoy these.

We Make Books
We Make Books is an artists' book fair that will be taking place at Bristol Central Library on Saturday 12th March. I'm looking forward to seeing a group of artists come and transform the café space into a marketspace for the day.
Instant Books!
I'm teaching a simple class in bookbinding for kids. Just a few quick, fun, simple little bindings. I do hope that some people can make it. I realise that Thursday afternoon isn't the ideal time for everyone. I didn't specifically plan it to come out that way! Anyway the people at the children's library have been super good about publicising it, so fingers crossed.
Artists’ Publications Fair at Bristol Central Library: “We Make Books”
I've just finished putting together the poster for the artists' publications event I've been organising for the Central Library. Sarah Trigg of Trigger Editions and Otto of Ottobooks were kind enough to provide images for the poster.
It'll be a fairly cosy affair in the library's café area, starting around 10am on Saturday 12th March (or earlier, if the stallholders are morning people!). I'm hoping for a nice big Saturday crowd at the library to help them shift some books. I've been working on a Mail Art exhibition to run upstairs in the Reference Library at the same time -more on that soon.

Melanie Bush and Dr Emma Powell curate We Love Your Books, an open-submission exhibition of artists’ books, every year. Each year has a theme, and this years is ‘[e]motive’, to which there have been many varied responses. They write:
[e]motive is the theme for the ‘we love your books’ 2010 experimental artists’ books exhibition, to be seen at artwork-mk, Milton Keynes from 28th
August to 24th September.On show will be around 100 exciting and innovative artists responses, from the UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Mexico, Portugal and The United Arab Emirates. It is expected that selected books from the exhibition will
travel to other venues.
