For one night only Theresa Easton spent the evening in the spacious corridor of Level 3 at 36 Lime street printing a series of Political Broadsides.
The evening was busy with visitors choosing their broadsides, literally hot off the press!
The discussion board went down well, with a lively debate ensuing between contributors.
There were some sad and despondent stories from those recently made jobless and those with direct connections to the austerity measure brought in by the government.
I plan to continue the debate and use the suggestions and discussions in a new artist book which i plan to send to the individuals concerned!
The next series of workshops in Hand Made Printed Books and Silk Screen Printing onto Glass lead by Theresa Easton at 36 Lime Street are coming up soon!
The Lit & Phil chap book
Theresa Easton has recently had book work acquired by the Tate Library, London, to form part of their ‘artists book’ collection. The Lit and Phil Chap book now forms part of the Five and a half thousand books currently in the Tate Library’s collection, along with another of Theresa Easton’s Chap Book The Sunderland book, The Comet and Planting Can Foster a Sense of belonging. For more information on Easton’s artist’s book practice and print related work go to Axis.
