Last year I was commissioned to make a handmade book of my Jackdaw series for the Bodleian library. I made two books with original cyanotype prints, alongside a typewritten essay. The books are in their permanent collection.

Today's class at Ards Ards Centre explored assemblage sculpture. I didn't have to do much, just bring in some collected bits and pieces and let them go. It's always inspiring watching how others think and approach a similar task...
