Her practice in etching and lithography explores, through the matrices of print, the poetic ambiguity of these systems of inscription |

| Eva Kelly After working for a number of years in London as a Freelance Designer/Illustrator I moved back to Dublin in 2004. Since then I have been working in the field of Youth Arts and developing my own arts practice with emphasis on printmaking and drawings. |
 |
|
| Experimental Letterpress Workshop The Experimental Letterpress Workshop was established in 2006 by Alex Cooper and Rose Gridneff, a Graphic Design/ Book Arts collaboration who seek to challenge the boundaries of Letterpress whilst respecting its traditions. |
 |
|
| Faction Faction is Lin Charlston, Heather Weston and Emily Artinian - three artists whose practices focus on the book format as vehicle for the conceptual and physical exploration of ideas.The artists work in loose collaboration on collectively generated themes, approaching a topic variously from the perspectives of their previous backgrounds in science, psychology and literary theory. |
 |
|
| FOLD FOLD is an artists’ group formed in 2002, working with a combined interest in print and book arts. We produce book works which exploit the potential of collaboration and are interested in how individual working methods can be applied collectively using a series of rules generated from each others practice. |
 |
|
| I Drink Coffee and Draw Press I drink coffee and draw is a small press under the C2 group, and is based in a terrace house in Sheffield. It uses an extremly slow computer as well as an Epson DX3850 printer. It produces low tech, home/ hand made books, as well as prints, paintings and small drawings. |
 |
|
| Michelle Cioccoloni I hunt through bookshops and libraries until I find a book that inspires me. By using ideas evoked from the meaning of each book I carry out alterations, so each piece of work is very different and individual. I aim to transform the original book as much as possible, often employing meticulous processes, to illustrate a new, personal meaning. It gives me pleasure to offer the reader an interactive experience with my work. |
 |
|
| Perienne Christian Book art is conducive to the creation of an intimate and explorative environment that allows me to highlight and intensify themes within my work. My print practise uses sequenced images made within the intaglio process and text using letterpress, typewriter or handwriting to create non-linear narratives within socially defined landscapes. |
 |
|
| Serendipity Press I make books that offer a moment of cheerful confusion, books that celebrate the beauty of the so-called ordinary, books made of groupings and lists, cataloguing the things and places we think we know, and books that offer a new look at things you see every day. I am trying to make contact with humanity. |
 |
|
| Spoon Print Press I have produced large, portfolio books and those with interesting folds, as well as novel bird shaped books. Some also contain thematic cut outs and embossing. I have also extended my book works to include my own creative writing, which I have performed in conjunction with my exhibitions. |
 |
|
| The Sound of Drowning Paul O'Connell is a self-publishing comic strip writer and artist working in digital and traditional mediums. His comic strips have appeared in a number of international comic anthologies and his cult comic book series The Sound of Drowning has garnered a great deal of critical praise. |
 |
|
| Transrational Publications I am a mature MA student introduced to artists’ books at Winchester. Making a single example of a product normally produced in thousands is my gesture in the face of globalisation. Waterstones, be very afraid! The themes of my books take us where Sherlock Holmes would exclaim, ‘Deep waters, Watson!’. Matters of creation and evolution, belief and unbelief are investigated with rigour. |
 |
|
| Winchester School of Art These books, designed or created by staff and students, are an essential part of our collection. |
||
| Wirral Metropolitan College Working with the artists’ book format, in the 2nd year of our BA Fine Art course, has given us the opportunity to imaginatively engage with the meaning and context of the word ‘book’. Our responses encompass a wide range of approaches reflecting the diverse preoccupations and methodologies in our individual practices. |
