Researched, designed, authored and bound my own book publication on ceramic painting in response to the ISTD brief ‘Joybringer’. There is a focus on the mental health benefits surrounding the participation of completing ceramic paintings, and how this can leave to an overall happier life.
The book was hand cut and bound using a perfect binding technique, leaving edges crisp and the ability to be open flat. There is use of a mix of letter press and handwritten type to have a crafted feel similar to that of a crafted ceramic piece. As well as this there is use of hand-painted brush strokes to guide readers through the book while supporting the ‘crafted’ aesthetic of the book.
