Never Judge a Book.... interactive workshops and performance with Emily Wilkinson and Sterly & Snell.

About

Have you ever made music with books, or created art and poetry from book pages? Meadow Arts is bringing artists Emily Wilkinson and Sterly & Snell’s Sound Books Project to Richard Booth’s Bookshop in Hay-on-Wye for free interactive book workshops and a performance on Saturday 16th July.

You can also visit the last weekend of contemporary art exhibition, Never Judge a Book... featuring big name artists, whose work explores the book as object and material.

Saturday 16 July

11am to 1pm

Emily Wilkinson - Between the Lines

Workshop

Create a story or poem (and a piece of art to take away) out of second-hand book pages. Using drawing and collage, artist Emily Wilkinson will help you read ‘Between the Lines' and reveal hidden messages.

Suitable for age 8+, teens & adults

3pm to 4pm

Creating Sound Books - Workshop

Listen to the sounds a book can make, whether a normal hardcover book, a book covered in wax, or even a typewriter. The workshop will also work on some found word poems and thinking about the random associations that evolve.

Participants can stay on to be part of the 4.30pm performance.

Suitable for age 10+, teens & adults

4.30pm to 5.15pm

Sound Books - Performance

Join the artists and contribute to a participatory sound piece. Using books as instruments, different layers of sound will be developed to create a unique composition.
