Book of Amesbury School's Artist-in-Residency

Colin Gibbs, Amesbury School's first Artist-in-Residence, has published a book for children that is
largely about his residency at the school. In the book Colin tells some of the little stories he shared with children and features the paintings that he painted while he was here. Many of these are focused on the landscape around the school. Colin was particularly fascinated by the steep hills with houses perched (precariously) on top of them.

This book can be viewed at Blurb. Follow the link below to view the book. Copies may be purchased directly from BLURB. These books are printed as they are ordered.
