For many years Jenny Pery has been involved in the creation of Artists' Handmade Books, some of which are shown above.
Published in small editions, most have been collaborative ventures with other Printmakers, but the books Weather Patterns & Animalore consist entirely of her own prints.
Each book is hand-printed, hand-sewn and hand-bound by the contributors.
All of her handmade books are in public or private collections with some having been acquired by the National Special Books Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
ANIMALORE is a compendium of animal proverbs illustrated by Jenny Pery using a variety of printmaking techniques, etchings, linocuts, drypoints, collagraphs and wood engravings.
