A Little Book of Hello

I mentioned my workshop at Kings Place interact weekend in a former post and here's an update....

A Little Book of Hello showcases the imaginative and creative work made at my workshop held at the King's Place Interact weekend in July 2011.  Each participant was invited to create a two page spread illustrating a country of their choice and passing on the greeting 'hello' in a chosen language.  Those who took part ranged in age from 3 to adult and represented diverse nationalities as seen in the art work in the book.

As is often the case in my creative workshops, I was surprised and inspired by the participants interpretation of the activity and choices made.  The vast majority chose to represent the country of their heritage including England, Jamaica, Poland, Ireland, and Turkey and the book includes one holiday destination - Greece.

I have hand bound A Little Book of Hello using a traditional Japanese stab binding technique and the book is to be archived at King's Place, London.
