Love Letter to a week of contemporary bookmaking

The wondrous Eleanor at Bridge House Art  invited me to teach a week-long course during her Summer art school in the sublime surrounds of her Ullapool studio in the Highlands. It was truly refreshing to be around such a group of inspiring, committed students that were as keen as mustard to learn the techniques and explore the possibilities of contemporary bookmaking. Thank you to you all for responding so eloquently and imaginatively to the briefs I set and making my working week a joy. Lovely cakes too. 

Ullapool

Sleeper trains & missed buses, local kindnesses & hero lifts, early birds & shared ideas, communal cooking & pitch-black sleeps, hill stomps & hot puddings.
