Mara Jardin Garden, Collaborative Book Project, 2013

Inspired during a visit to Pompallier Printery in Russell in 2012, 11 members of Central Print Council used letterpress and printmaking to create a page each. Working with the local team, my role was to bind the pages using a concertina spine structure to complete the edition of 38 books.
