Discovering our Collections through Artists' Books

Join Divine Mayala from our library team in an interactive workshop designed to help you explore our collections and inspire your own research projects.

In this hour-long session, you’ll receive an introduction to artists' books, which are works of art in the form of a book. The artists' books in our collections generally relate to health and wellbeing.

You'll be able to examine items from our collection and customise your own artist's book from materials provided in the workshop – no previous experience is necessary.

This workshop is open to all levels and backgrounds but will be especially suited to those who are new to Wellcome Collection or at the beginning of their research journey.
