Manchester Artists Book Fair, 18th + 19th October 2013, Manchester School of Art

'Dantzic is falling down', Etching and chine colle on Fabriano

PAPER will be showing some of my artists books this coming weekend at The Manchester Artists Book Fair .

This year's fair will be held on Friday 18th (2pm-6pm) and Saturday 19th (11am-5pm) October 2013 and once again it will be in the Manchester School of Art's Holden Gallery.  There will be 40+ tables manned by suppliers, art publishers, illustrators and book artists, and filled with a tremendous range of all things book arts - risographed, screenprinted, relief printed, etched soft- and hard-backed books; zines and pamphlets; tiny letterpressed delights; posters printed using woodcuts; irresistible decorative papers and practical bone folders, needles, thread; beautifully folded and manipulated book sculptures, and much much more.  Every year there are old and new faces behind the stands, and while many visitors return time after time, there are always newcomers delighted to discover the exciting, fascinating and above all varied world of book arts. 

Admission for visitors to the fair is free.  

The fair is held at Manchester Metropolitan University's Holden Gallery, which is on their All Saints campus:
