Leena Nammari
A creative workshop
During November 2019 accomplished printmaker Leena Nammari visited the City of Glasgow College to work with HND2 printmaking students.
The aim of the workshops was to work with a variety of print finishing processes in order to construct artists' books. These books are intended to showcase the creative work of the printmaking students.
Artists’ books are books that are conceived and designed by artists, rather than books written on or about artists. Hence, they exist as art in their own right.
