Welcome to Book Apothecary
Book Apothecary is inspired by the idea of book and botanical categorisation systems, proving that books can be visual as well as informative.
It is a travelling artist book museum created by visual artists Yvette Hawkins, Aidan Moesby, Theresa Easton and writer Stevie Ronnie who have shared skills in book binding, printmaking, sculpture, drawing, writing and audio with a group of young artists to make a series of handmade books centred around the theme of Category. All book works will be exhibited in a unique travelling vessel designed by Furniture Maker Nick James.
