Book Arts |
ABC is a cross-disciplinary forum for makers of artists’ books and ephemera, founded by MA alumna Lilla Duignan in 2009 for students and interested parties based here at Bower Ashton (and online). It provides an opportunity to get together for critical and constructive dialogue, to contextualise work, explore ideas and to develop creative practice and theory. ABC meets and works as a group towards exhibitions, projects and participation in regional and national artist’s book fairs and events.
“The perfect space in which mystery meets matter and conjoins, is for me the book”

A £5 membership fee helps us cover the cost of materials.
ABC meetings are a mix of (mostly) physical and online talks or workshops, an annual collaborative project, plus occasional outings.
