My week at Dore Abbey inspired the creation of a small concertina sketchbook documenting a walk around the abbey, both inside and out.

The folding book was filled with sketches, watercolours and notes painted onsite and finished back in my studio. I was so pleased with the resulting book that I have had a short print run made. Each printed book has a small unique watercolour on the cover depicting a wildflower, plant or tree, native to the churchyard. Decorating the back cover is a specially made print of the abbey

THESE CONCERTINA BOOKS HAVE BEEN PRINTED ON QUALITY WATERCOLOUR EFFECT PAPER AND HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY HAND CUT, FOLDED AND GLUED.

JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL, THEY HAVE A UNIQUE, SMALL WATERCOLOUR ON THE  FRONT COVER AND  AN INDIVIDUAL DORE ABBEY PRINT ON THE BACK.

THE MEASUREMENTS OF THESE SMALL PRECIOUS BOOKS ARE 12CM X 9CM, UNFOLDING TO A LENGTH OF 66.5CM.
