What a great weekend!
This year Hot Bed Press managed to secure us two days in the lovely Holden Gallery, within the Manchester School of Art. This meant that on Friday we saw lots of students and Saturday bought in people having a browse - I even recognised a few faces from last year!
I was honoured with one of the first tables as you walk in the room - can you believe it?! Myself and Sarah, of Big Jump Press had our tables set up to welcome people in through the doors and to bid them a good journey on their way out too.
Over the two days I did manage to leave my table for long enough to enjoy a look around everyone else's tables, however, I only got photos of mine and Sarah's! Oops.
I had two new releases for this fair, my 'Down Your Street : York' screen printed book and my 'Lucky Dip' bags. Both went down great and I had some awesome feedback. I love hearing what people have to say about my work, it's even more fun when people are really not holding back. I was lucky enough to hear my table be described as an 'Illustration Wonderland' - how gorgeous does that sound!? As well as '...and shit that's amazing!' I also managed to get stocked up with more lovely stripy paper bags for future fairs in return for an Amsterdam card.
You can find a list of all the contributors here, be sure to check them out, some really stunning works.
p.s. everything on my table is available to buy and will be found in my shop here. If it's not in the shop, send me a message and I can do a custom listing specially for you at no extra cost.
You'll find posts about the 7th Manchester Artists Book Fair on many other blogs, but after this one, you can have a look at Fishink's blog fishinkblog.wordpress.com :-D be sure to let us know if you got here from the other!
