THURSDAY 5TH MARCH 2009
Lewis and I went on a bookbinding course near Petersfield today. We got to the ladies house just before 9am and didn't finish until 5.30 - it was such a good day! We started by talking to her about what we wanted to get out of the day and things we wanted to learn. She then advised what she thought would be best and then we started. I made a book using link stitching and kettle stitches. My aim for the day was to work out a way of binding a book so that it looked professional and opened flat on each page. Perfect binding doesn't allow this to happen and because the book I am making will contain images, I don't want them to be lost down gutters if I chose to have a full page image at some point. We were shown everything from start to finish. I decided that instead of making the book fully, I would complete the top half but leave the bottom half unfinished so the stitching can be seen and the covering methods can be seen. I will upload some pictures later.
Meeting with Robert Violette
TUESDAY 3RD MARCH 2009
I went to London today to meet with Robert Violette of Violette Editions. We spent some time talking about publishing and about the reason I got in contact with him [Sophie Calle: Double Game]. He had some really good and inspiring advice for me. We chatted about my future plans, and what he thought I needed to do to break into the industry once I have graduated.
He had to go to a meeting at The Barbican and he said I could go with him. We got a taxi and he showed me a lecture he did at Nottingham Trent on his laptop on the way. The meeting was for a new project he is working on.
Robert said that if I am ever up in London then make sure I email him as he will be able to give me a list of things that are going on that I should be going to see.

Kessels Kramer Exhibition
FRIDAY 27TH FEBRUARY 2009
I went to the Kessels Kramer Exhibition at Farnham art college today. It was really interesting to see their work. I have been researching them for my FMP so I wanted to drive up there to see in more detail as their website is mainly focused around publishing. They had quite a large collection of their work on display.
