You are invited to the opening of an exhibition of artists' books and original prints.
I hope Friday 13th September is lucky for all the artists who are exhibiting their books and prints during this evening (6-8pm) at Bewdley Museum's Foundry studio and gallery, and there is a good turn out to see this exciting work.
Most of the artists' books are a combination of both image and words and relate to a wide range of subject matter.
Some of my own prints link to the work of the brilliant ImagetextImage poets - Emma Purshouse, Dave Finchett, Jane Seabourne, Nick Pearson. Subject matter includes garlic, 'Spot the Ball' and a woman losing her mind in Wolverhampton...
If you can't make it to the opening, the exhibition is on:
Saturday 14th to Sunday 22nd September
Open 11.00 – 16.00 at weekends
(weekdays flexible hours - check before visiting)
