Because of mine and Helena's mass of collaborative work we were given the opportunity by Lee to have our work at the stall of Into the Fold. Which is an Artists book and (newly) Zine fair.
So me and Helena gave our 3 zine collections to Lee and then went 'on the road' (well train) to Winchester on the day. On the train we each filled a zine which made the trip of 50 minutes feel like 20, and we later merged the two zines to make a 'trip to Winchester' zine which we will hopefully get the chance to sell at some point.
ANYWAY. We planned our trip so that we would arrive early, so that we could explore Winchester (as I had never been). We got to look at the old architecture, have an amazing sausage roll and cup of tea at a cafe, and wander around the Winchester Cathedral. I took a lot of photos and every spotted a lot of weird Gargoyles which (again) I ended up making a zine about.
We then went to the fair at 2pm (in the pouring rain). We had a great time looking at all the tables and talking to artists. I made sure to pit up as many business cards as possible and I also bought some zines for my growing collection. We met Lee and Ceri at the tale and saw out stuff layed out between their work, which was quite crazy because it's hard to tell yourself that the work we make is on their level. (Crazy!) We talked with a few people that were interested in our work and it was quite cool. AND we also went to a small talk/workshop about 3D scanning artist books, in which we were able to actually able to use some scanning tech. (Pretty cool stuff!).
