Marches Makers Festival
Showing art celebrating and expanding on what a book can be. We share and showcase our passion for creating unique book art works, where structure, content and materials unite to reflect their themes.
We tell stories of the Welsh border region and beyond, through a range of book arts forms from the simple concertina to more sculptural works. Our works variously feature printmaking, letterpress, calligraphy, papercutting, collage, photography, stitch and more.
We entice new and existing audiences to discover and enhance their joy of book arts and the chance to handle and explore the possibilities of different structures. There will be demonstrations of simple structures, as well as the following workshops:
A creative introduction to book arts 2-3.30pm Saturday 4 May
Make a flag book 10.30-noon Sunday 5 May
Make a "fishbone" artist's book 2-3.30pm Sunday 5 May
Cost £25 each with use of tools and all materials provided. 16+ only
