Bookbinding and Beyond is an insightful talk that explores the fascinating art of bookbinding and its connection to the natural world and our sense of belonging. The event will feature Louisa Boyd, a talented multidisciplinary artist based in Cheshire, who specializes in paint, print, and sculpture. Drawing on her background in Embroidery, Louisa's work showcases sewn bookbinding structures as her final outcomes.

Throughout her artistic career, Louisa has ventured into various mediums such as painting, print, and sculpture. However, her passion for the traditional craft of bookbinding has remained integral to her artistic portfolio. She further honed her skills by undergoing training from esteemed members of the Society of Bookbinders between 2010 and 2014. This training allowed Louisa to develop a series of artists' books, incorporating her unique prints.

Louisa's artwork beautifully integrates bookbinding materials, processes, and tools. From sewn structures to on-lays and the use of the Japanese screw punch, her pieces showcase the versatility and beauty of bookbinding techniques. During the talk, Louisa will delve into the inspirations behind her work, sharing early artist books as well as more recent artwork and gallery pieces. These captivating creations incorporate foils, finishing tools, marbling, and even utilize bone folders to shape her sculptures.

The central theme of Louisa's work revolves around humanity's enduring desire to belong to the natural world. She skillfully incorporates celestial symbols, sacred geometry, natural landmarks, and map-like imagery to evoke a sense of connection to our environment and a deeper understanding of our place within it.

Portico Library The porch library is a bit mysterious because it is a private member library. The most attractive thing should be the beautiful dome on the exhibition roof, which is its most distinctive place. Some more specific information can be viewed on the official website.

As a supporter, visiting Etihad Stadium was a fantastic experience. The stadium itself is immaculate and well-maintained, providing a great environment for watching the match. The food options were plentiful, offering a variety of choices that added to the overall enjoyment. It would have been perfect if we could eat and drink while watching the game, but even so, the experience was memorable and enjoyable. Highly recommend for any football fan!

Visited the cathedral with my partner for an ibiza classical evening. We both thoroughly enjoyed it! The lighting and sound system were amazing.The only faults I had with the place was that the toilets had no lighting around them ,but there were plenty of them though, so I wasn&#39;t queuing for long.
