North West Book Artists

Our October meeting was led by Marilyn, who reviewed with us a tied book structure ( Alisa Golden has this in one of her books). This was a request from a member, but it turned out that it was not the book that she had meant at all, so we’ll be making the one she actually wanted next year!

 

It was a relaxed making session, which was useful as the meeting was immediately followed by the Liverpool Book Fair at the Bluecoat Centre. 

We did very well at the fair despite atrocious weather conditions which we feared would not only put members off attending our meeting but also fair visitors.   All fears were in vain, and we had lots of interest in the group and our activities, with plenty of flyers handed out. We’ll see if this actually translates into new members of course.

Members had brought works in progress which is always interesting, and Frances has found a new binding method for board concertina books  which she will show us how to make at our next meeting in November.
