Manchester Book Fair today – hmmm – an odd day. I was asked to put some work onto a table shared with all the Wirral Met students, I spent a lot of time producing book work and had loads but there was only a really small table and for everyone to get work on display – it was 1 or 2 pieces each. So rather a waste of all the time and effort put in with all the other work.
Well attended though and some amazing work there and I met Emily Speed at last (hello Emily), good to meet a fellow a-n blogger.
I would do an artists book fair again for sure but with a table of my own, I had enough with me to fill one, had to leave loads in the car.
My friend Julie felt the same so we may look into more fairs and go together, share a table and costs to start with – see how we get on.
Mini presented my chosen place/reasons for site art at Preston, went well I think. Also met up with Jeni who was year ahead of me in Wirral and now again on the MA, she had some Preston books/info for me which are really useful. Good to talk with her and her friends too, I got a better gist of what’s to come on the course over the next 2 years and feel better about it all now.
