Bookmaking with the community.


On the 5th of October and 16th of October we held all day public events at Clapham Library inviting the community to help us make the first book for the new Clapham Library.  This is a special book comprised solely of personal stories and feelings about Clapham past, present and future by it's residents.  The book is a tool for us to educate artists involved with a public commission of artworks about Clapham and the event was a wonderful opportunity to learn more from the community.  We now have over 100 pages of personal stories.  Here are a few pages from the book and snapshots from our day.
