Bespoke Book Works will be held at Ewart Gallery in Willoughby (Sydney) from Saturday
27 September until Saturday 22 October 2008.

Bespoke Book Works aims to show a wide-range of hand-made books which are part of the reaction against mass production, particularly in the field of art and craft.

Bespoke conjurs up the realm of hand-made or made-to-order. It brings to mind the idea of a treasured possession. Works is evocative of the labour required to make a hand-made book, while reminding us that they are works of art.
