Whilst spending time in Salford printing at Hot Bed Press I've also been visiting galleries in the area...
Here's a few snaps from my visit to The John Rylands Library a couple of weeks ago. This is somewhere I've visited before but not recently.
I was really pleased to see the 'Women who shaped Manchester' exhibition. I also spent sometime looking into medieval manuscripts which will certainly influence my design ideas and be useful for current work that I'm developing.
Spotting the letterpress set up was a bonus after recently completing a letterpress course (I must go back to see the demonstration!).
My favourite piece in the #jrlWomen exhibition has to be the Freedom of the City of Manchester scroll, presented to Enriqueta Rylands, the first freewoman of the City of Manchester.
Exhibition ends 10th March 2019
