The Launch

The rush is on to get everything ready for the launch of Trigger Editions next weekend at the Spike Island Open Studios; work has gone to the printers, freebies are being made and the website is being transformed (hope you like the new look!). We are running a poetry competition to mark the launch. Have a look at the Unsaid Words Poetry page for more details.

Trigger Editions will be at this event in April selling our wares. Hope to see you there.

Made with my Psalm Name-Labels

Here is an example of a gift I made for a friend recently using my 'Psalm Name-Labels'. It is a gorgeous set of three vests for a newborn. The verses on top are from psalm 139 which inspired the name labels.

If you have some of my name labels please send me photos of what you do with them. I'd love to see your projects and put them up on the blog to give other people ideas. Happy creating!

Psalm Name-Labels are on sale at the various art fairs Trigger Editions visits or can be ordered by e-mailing Sarah J Trigg directly.

Solihull Book Art Fair

Today I've been collecting more contributions to my 'Unsaid Words' project in Solihull. Thanks to everyone who wrote something for me.

Soon I'll be launching a poetry competition inspired by my growing collection of 'unsaid words' (things you wish you had said or forgot to say). The plan is to print and publish a limited edition book of poems to be sold alongside the books of amalgamated pages of viewers contributions. So watch this space for details.

Documenting

If you have some of my Psalm Name-labels or 'I found this and thought of you envelopes' please do send me some pictures of what you do with them. When I launch my new web-site I will have pages dedicated to showing how these project works have developed so I really need your pictures to get things started.

If you'd like to know more about these new works please visit Sarah J Triggs news page where they will soon be featured.

Spike Island Artist Book Event

It was great to meet so many different interesting people and to show the Book works I've been working on for the past year. If you're interested in what I do please keep in touch. Lots more in the pipeline! It won't be long now till I launch trigger editions properly.

Artists' Book and Zine Fair

Come along to Spike Island on 31st October 1-6pm for an Artist Book Fair. Sarah is showing some new work and there will be another opportunity to contribute to her 'Unsaid Words' project. It's free entry.

followed by drinking, dancing, mingling in Spike Café til 9pm

Hope you can make it.

Library Dust

Sarah J Trigg's first set of Library Dust books has come back for the bookbinders emboss with beautiful gold text on the front covers. They look fantastic, this picture really doesn't do them justice.

The text excerpts (which read 'Nothing has been less historical or less true', 'the produce of the civilised world', We are living in another world', 'the significance of this', and 'we were told long ago') come from somewhere inside each book, and can be found if you search hard enough inside the framed page under all the library dust.

Bath Fringe Exhibition

Next Friday my new book, 'Unsaid Words' will be on display in Bath. It's in an exhibition called The Green Art Project at The Green Tree Gallery, CoralQuay Fairtrade, 8-9 New Bond Street Place,Bath, BA1 1BH. There will also be an opportunity to help write the text for more copies of the book which comprised of paper from recycled envelopes. I'll be there on the Friday night opening and on Friday 5th June if you'd like to meet for a chat.

Open Studio Exhibition

This weekend I've had all my new prototypes on show at my Open Studio exhibition in Spike Island, Bristol. I've collected masses of great feed-back so I should be able to go to print with my first collection of books in the next few months - exciting!

I've also started collaborating with different artists and hope to show their work here soon. Watch this space to see how you can get hold of our first limited edition books. Get in touch if you would like to be involved.
