There is a weekly Book Clinic time for drop-in advice about planning and producing artist's books. This is Tuesdays and Wednesdays (during term times) between 10am and 2.30pm. The Book Studio Technical Officer, Caren Florance, has a wide range of book-related interests and skills. Book Clinic is available to all Honours and Postgraduate students at the School of Art.
Residencies are available upon application of a written proposal. They can range from a short one-off project to a semester-long residency. Applications should be submitted to the lecturer-in-charge.
