Hang on, Santa! It's that time of the year again where Christmas markets and festive pop-up shops are sprouting all over the place!
Last Sunday I made my way to the St Alyosius Social Club in Euston for the winter 2010 edition of Handmade and Bound.
I always look forward to spending time at such events where I can lose track of time perusing interesting self-published books and admire high quality prints.
Forget about the packed alleys full of eager art and craft enthusiasts! I always arm myself with a great dose of patience and a smile- that usually does the trick!
This season's Handmade craft fair was smaller than the one I attended in summer a year ago around Shoreditch... I forget the name of the school.
There was less on display this time around and not much of the edgy comics I remember from last time. There was an anarchy and radical London printers stand and the graphic novel"Diary of a Miscreant" was on sale at the Last Hours table nearby.
I left with this book, "Revolutionary Women" after I saw Angela Davis was one of the sisters profiled in it. Why not learn more about strong and brave women from very diverse backgrounds and be inspired?!
