UCOL Students' Book Binding Visit

Paul Gummer has been bringing his students to Homeprint for 12 years now. I was impressed with the students  interest in our environment and their practice of taking photos. One student, Johanna posted me an original thank you card and a disc of photos taken on the day as a gift.

The 'making a journal day ' was fantastic. We measured, cut, glued, embossed and raved!
14 students was the biggest group Paul and had worked with over the last 8 years. Paul didn't sit down the whole day as he was helping with logic, technique, quality and inspiration.
Congratulations to him and to all the young artists for the days results.www.theimprint.co.nz
