and who, indeed that has once seen Edinburgh, with its couchant crag-lion, but must see it again in dreams, waking or sleeping?

Information

The Artist’s Book Day

A day workshop drawing inspiration from the amazing collection of books kept in the Library at Surgeons' Hall. Books of anatomy were often called atlases and this workshop will show how to make a book structure originally used for maps. After viewing some of the rare and beautiful books on display, the rest of the day will be spent drawing and printing from the museum itself. The images made will be used as the pages for a unique and personal book.
