Artistic and Autistic

Artistic and Autistic An Exhibition at King’s College London (Postponed due to COVID-19)

Are you Book Enough?

‘Are you Book Enough?’ Editions printmaking studio, Seattle have set this beautiful challenge.

Now in its fourth-year ‘Editions’ asks bookbinders on an international scale if they are ‘book enough?’

The challenge is free to take part in and anyone can join. The only requirement is that high-quality images are posted on social media with the relevant monthly hashtags.

As this will be my first year undertaking the challenge I have decided to post three books every quarter. (It’s taken me a while to update this blog because there is nothing quite like a global pandemic to get in the way of bookbinding.)

If you would like to follow my progress pictures and informal updates please follow me on Instagram at JaneEBennett.
