Clunes Book Week 2023

  

 

Clunes was a very busy time, though the Bluestone is outside the main area of activity so is a bit quieter. I forgot the camera so I omitted to get pics of the Bookbinders stand and the inside of the historic church. But lots of lovely interactions with book people, lots of enquiries , and lots of people taking workshop brochures. Time was demonstrating some stitching on old newsletters in the sewing frame, stood up to get a drink. When he looked back around, someone had walked of with the half stitched newsletters, thread and needle still attached!! I would have loved to get a snapshot of that. So the information was in high demand. The workshops for April are almost booked out so check out the brochure on vbg.net.au, and also download out Clunes Survey.  Jim.
