THE 2008 ARTIST'S BOOK PRIZE
AT THE TEMPLE GALLERY
ARTIST'S BOOK FESTIVAL
4 & 5 October 2008


BOOK FESTIVAL

The Temple Gallery will host an Artist's Book Festival on October 4th & 5th with an exhibition to last the whole month of October. The Temple Gallery is hosting this festival to launch its permanent display of Artist's Books.

What is an Artist's Book?

An Artist's Book is an artwork inspired by the book format. Within the tradition of the book it draws from bookbinding, printmaking, design, fine art and a variety of other rich art and craft disciplines. A growing number of artist's choose this format as it can be a great way to bring narrative, collections and text & literature to their audience.

How do I make a book?

A book can be made by simply stitching, gluing or stapling paper together. Go on have a go...
