Bookface

Bookface takes place once a year around October time at the Rising Sun Arts Centre, and is organised by volunteer Neile Wright.

This is a showcase for artists hand made bookmakers, small press and anyone interested in the art of bookmaking.

The next Bookface, chapter 8, is on Saturday 14 - Sunday 15 October 2017. As well as stalls to browse and a cafe, Bookface often includes demonstrations, workshops, installations, poetry readings and exhibitions too.

If you are interested in taking part, please email The Rising Sun Arts Centre info@risingsun-artscentre.co.uk
