For the
weekend of 16th and 17th February, there will be a cabinet showcase in the
foyer of the Newton building (which you can find here: http://www.ntu.ac.uk/nls/visit_us/our_location/index.html), displaying contemporary craft, design and artwork around the theme of
Narrative, Love and Lace, curated by Debbie Bryan.
To launch
the showcase, on 16th February between 10am – 10:45am in lecture theatre 6,
Debbie Bryan will be giving a short talk, introducing the beautiful collections
which have been created especially for The Nottingham Festival of Words. There
will also be a special talk from award winning environmental paper artist
Hannah Lobley of Paperworks and Printmaker Peter Clayton of the Leicester Print
Workshop.
Collections
from Hannah Lobley, Peter Clayton, Phoina Richards, Penelope Ruth, Jodie
Patterson, Debbie Bryan, Emma Kate, Corrina Rothwell, Sally Hill, Sat Kalsi,
and collaborative work by Manon de Moor, Penelope Ruth and Festival of Words artist in residence Sue Bulmer will be for sale at our
Lace Market shop from 6th February.
A spin-off
showcase of Sally Hill, Sat Kalsi and Peter Clayton's work will be on display in the Debbie
Bryan Heritage Cabinets at Nottingham Castle, as part of the Narrative Exhibition.
On this same
Saturday, 16th February, there will be two Altered Books Workshops, hosted by
Debbie Bryan’s Design Room, from 10am-1pm and/or 2pm-5pm. This workshop has
been inspired by the Nottingham Festival of Words and will be lead by Manon de
Moor who will be demonstrating how to make a personal journal, travel-book or diary
out of an old hardback book. Moor will also be giving an introduction on how to
create a poem or text based on the Festivals 'Love, Lace and Letters' theme.
The Altered
Books Workshop costs £30 per guest and can be purchased in store on by
telephone. Gift cards can also be purchased as an excellent gift for a friend.
We hope that
the events of the 16th give you something to write about in your altered
journal!
