Use tiny prints


Cindy Tonkin - February 25, 2021

When I made a million (possibly an exaggeration) tiny open press prints in January, I created a small research opportunity for myself. 
I was looking for artist’s books in different styles to incorporate the tiny prints (mostly 5 x 5 cm). 
Here’s the list I made, just in case I need it again!
