Bristol Artists Book Event report

A well organized event in four spacious gallery spaces. Met some interesting people, as well as bumping into a few familiar faces, below are some pictures from the event:

Jatinder, Charlotte and Amiee were absolute stars, representing themselves as well as BIAD with impeccable charm and candour. I was particularly impressed with their enthusiasm to explain not only their own work but that of others too!
