The Art of The Book

The Art of the Book documents a series of book related events that took place in Newcastle & Gateshead during the summer months of 2010. The events were organised and inspired by Newcastle based artist Theresa Easton. The events that took place ranged from delivering a bespoke workshop making hand made books with adults with visual impairments in Blaydon library to presenting an Artists’ Book Fair at Gallery North, Northumbria University. The Art of the Book is beautifully illustrated with photographs by Sunderland based photographer Roger Coulam. The book acts as a catalogue for the Gallery North Artists’ Book Fair and includes details & photographs referencing all participants. Interleaved within the pages of the hand bound book is an original silk screen print by Ulverston based poet & printmaker John Fox and an original photo litho print ‘Stag Beetle’ by Theresa Easton.
