Flat Pack Shelf for TTP table


Mini maquette created by Emmi to display our beachwork books.  Needs slight moderation and then it will be perfect to add a bit of height to our table at the 'Turning the Page' Norwich Artists Book Fair on May the 2nd and 3rd.

Shell gathering and Box making

Razor clam shells scraped by Emmi, Sue's mentee art student from Finland, a work in progress for the razor clam books


Origami Box Making for the shell book



This wonderful prototype origami box made by Emmi from two A4 sheets.  We scanned the lithographic print used inside the shell book and then modified the colour as a print surface for the lid of the box.

The Heat Is On




Circumstances are somewhat against us as we try to prepare and finish editions of our books for TTP

However after an enormous amount of measuring, cutting, folding and pasting we are getting closer to completion.
