Sketchbook Library 2025

As part of the 2025 Aspects Literary Festival, we are creating a sketchbook library with contributions from local artists, designer and makers.

This project has been inspired by The Brooklyn Art Library -SketchBook Project and has been made possible with a kind contribution of sketchbooks from Christopher Murphy.

This blog is to update participants on the project. If you would like to participate, please order your sketchbook on the link below. There is a contribution of £10 towards programme costs. Sketchbooks are soft-back and A5 size, so easy to pack on the go!

The aim of the project is to create a small library of sketchbooks that can be viewed by the public in the project space at Boom Studios during the festival (last week of September - first week in October 2025, final details TBC).

There will also be an opportutinuty to exhibit individual works, developed from the sketchbooks, on the walls in the project space.

This page will be updated as the project develops.
