Jacquie Campbell has been coming in on and off for the last few days and on Day 6 she came along with Lyn Whitehead and made the book illustrated in the photos below.  Come down to The Cloisters and have a look at this treasure – we are open until Saturday at 4pm  

 Sara “did a bit of printing and lots of talking and gave a few people a little print. So overall a good day – making, talking and giving something.” Thank you so much Sara – love the images
