Book Apothecary is inspired by the idea of book and botanical categorisation systems, proving that books can be visual as well as informative. Part of the Durham Book Festival, the Book Apothecary is the inspirationl idea of Yvette Hawkins and presents a travelling book museum created by the artists Yvette Hawkins, Aidan Moesby, Theresa Easton and Stevie Ronnie, and a team of young people.
They have worked together to share skills in book binding, printmaking, sculpture, drawing, audio and writing to create a unique travelling vessel designed by furniture maker Nick James. Find out more at www.bookapothecary.co.uk.
