Artists' Book Market at BALTIC

Yesterday I visited the BALTIC for the Artists' Book Market. There was a good variety of artists, bookmakers, small press publishers, artist’s groups, zine artists and bookbinders exhibiting and selling a range of artists' books, including traditional hardbound books printed by hand, paper cut books, folded books, musical books and sculptural books.

It was lovely to bump into some familiar faces from Glasgow International Artists Bookfair, and meet other artists bookmakers whose artists books I had not previously seen.

I attended Dean Pavitt's talk in which he explained how he, as a designer, works with others to produce photo-books, and the stages to follow.
