ARTISTS’ BOOKS CLEVEDON: ABC!

This group of artists who get together occasionally to share a book structure and we set ourselves a theme to make for our next meeting. We have only just got going so are finding our way and new members are very welcome to join our supportive group whose experience of book structures ranges from none to extensive, so no prior experience needed! Free to members.

But what is an Artists’ Book I hear you cry! Well, defining artists’ books is a thankless task! (Bit like trying to define ‘what is art’). Basically they are artworks in book form and can be in small editions or one-of-a–kind. Some play with the Structure of a book- so the pages are not separate and do not open one at a time. Some work into them with sketches and paint. You can also get books that use different materials, not just ordinary paper, have cut- outs so some of the book is revealed or hidden, even pop-ups. Some transform existing books producing an altered book.

The next meeting is …10-1pm

  • 20th September (time and venue to be confirmed)
    Contact Carol if you are attending for the first time to find out the venue.
