Alice Melvin
September 2nd, 2010 | Author: Lou
Alice was born in 1982 and grew up in the seaside town of Saltburn in the north east of England. Alice now lives in Edinburgh, Scotland where she works with a range of clients including British Library, Tate, and Centre for Fine Print Research at University West of England Bristol. Alice’s work is inspired by her love of paper and the the process of screen printing images by hand. This still remains an integral part of her work which is an element that I also feel very passionate about. Animals, birds, pattern and text occur frequently in her work along with the interactive aspect thus making her work perfect for children’s books. Having just completed by book binding course I am deeply inspired by the books that Alice has made and find each one beautiful and unique for both children and adults. You can see more of Alice’s work here.
