Chasing away the January blues members were treated to a great 📖 workshop led by delivering the ‘Elbem’ workshop designed by Ben Elbel with great results from all who attended, well done everyone and thank you Fenneke and Ben.

A few pics from trip to it was a beautiful day to experience the delights of the library - with a special focus in their current exhibition ‘bookmarks’ on books out on display with unusual marks and annotations found in them, also love letters and signature practicing!

We surprised the staff by nearly all admitting to having written in books ourselves - maybe book binders and artists have a different attitude to the use of books!

Thanks to the Keeper and volunteers for their tour and knowledge sharing from all of us.
