it's been a busy few days but full of really interesting
moments - Book Art Symposium 2 at
Camberwell was so extraordinarily profession, the students truly owned their
practice and presented a fully engaging morning of ideas and work, so much so
that my timing was almost a full 45 minutes off and as students had only 7 mins
to present and 3 minutes for questions you can see how interesting it was. In
the afternoon we went to Kingsland
Projects http://www.kingsgateworkshops.org.uk/43-billboard
to see the work of and talk with Fox Irving & Katarina Kelsey. They have been collaborating and evidence of this can be
seen in the thoughtful billboard that can be viewed from the surrounding street
and park.

the page - https://www.turnthepage.org.uk/ the wonderful Book Art Fair organised by equally
wonderful Rosie Sherwood, Alumni of The Book Art MA at Camberwell at The Form
Norwich was really interesting, full of excellent work and committed makers. I
missed the symposium, assessments and marking had overtaken my life. But the
work at NUA is some of the most professional I have seen in my years of
teaching. The students practice submitted for assessment leads me to believe
that this year could be one of the most exciting final shows I have been
involved in.
