Mike Clements
Mike Clements, who died in the Autumn of 2024, was a keen book artist and promoter of book arts. His membership of MBAG has been both long and productive, and he will be missed by all of us, in addition of course to those who knew him via book fairs, websites and Instagram.
He was particularly supportive and encouraging of people beginning to discover book arts and book making, and enjoyed testing out new designs and unusual ideas with the group.
In addition to his work with MBAG, Mike enjoyed exhibiting and sharing his knowledge with people new to book arts, as well as bringing his enquiring mind to discussions with fellow artists. His books, especially the limited editions, were very collectible, and his book entitled ‘A good day to bury bad news’ is in the Tate’s collection of Artists Books.
Mike was a patient teacher and brought humour and thought provoking ideas to group sessions. His kindness and friendship, his willingness to volunteer at events and lead workshops is remembered by us all. He will be very much missed and long remembered.
