The book is a viable, visual medium that can provide links and meeting points between many art disciplines such as print, painting and sculpture. It is perhaps the most intimate, easily accessible and portable of all the art forms. In this intensive five-day course both traditional and unorthodox bookbinding structures will be taught.

Guy Begbie is a bookbinder and multi-disciplinary artist. He exhibits his artists' books and delivers book arts workshops and master classes internationally. Guy is the Book Arts Co-ordinator at Herefordshire College of Arts and is the external examiner for BA (Hons) Book Arts & Crafts at London College of Communication, University of the Arts, London

This course is designed to be appropriate for those both with or without previous bookbinding experience.

Limited to 10 participants.
