CCAM library display - ‘Altered Book’

Cluain Mhuire students participating in the year 2 "Book Arts" module have produced an amazing body of work for their ‘Altered Book’ project. 

Book-lovers will appreciate how these re-purposed tomes have gained a new lease of life, reflecting what many of us find when we first discovered reading: a fantasy world, a place of comfort, a field of challenging new ideas, a treasure trove, uncomfortable realities. 

 

These works of art are currently on display in the CCAM library - 

Call in and take a moment to appreciate another vision of reading.
