Bookshop Showcase: Dec - Feb
Sue Gregor: Fossilized Plastic
Bristol based jeweller Sue Gregor takes her interest in the natural world as her starting point. Each of her pieces is unique with the fine detail of the original material, often quite ordinary plants and weeds, ‘fossilized’ on its surface using an individual method of dying and embossing. A selection of Sue’s work is available for sale in the bookshop and makes unique and beautiful presents.
Nobrow Small Press
Nobrow Small Press is all about screenprinting. They have worked with a range of different artists, illustrators and designers to create beautifully crafted books and prints, with each edition limited to less than 100. Included in this showcase is The Bento Bestiary, a collaboration between Bristol-based illustrator Ben Newman and Scott James Donaldson. Issue 2 of Nobrow magazine is currently available in the bookshop.
