I came away
with more idea of how to display work and sensible pricing. As well as several
books to add to my slowly growing collection. I’m not sure that I’ll manage to
produce enough work to stock a table on my own but it gives me something with a
concrete deadline to aim at.
Hot Bed
Press (who organise the Book Fair in conjunction with MMU) were giving a series
of book related workshops. I had booked myself onto the risograph/zine morning. I spent the week before scanning ,
photoshopping and tying myself in knots with colour separation. I finally
produced a three colour print which, when it dries, will form a beak book. The colours are a bit garish but I wanted to be able to see the separation of layers clearly for this first experiment.
Because the
risograph uses soy ink the prints will take a while to dry. So I finally made a
drying rack so that I’m not covering every available surface with drying prints
Though I do have to find two bits of furniture to hang the bar from when it’s
being used.
