8 Books founder Damian Jaques came to UCA Canterbury to give a ‘here’s how we make it happen’ talks in 2017. At the end of his talk he gave a shout out for students to try out for this international project he was about to get off the ground with. ‘When in Rome!’ thought I. I submitted the required test drawings and I was in! Boy, o boy, was i exited or what. The time flew. Drawing after drawing was sent off and 6 months later a nifty little Craft Spirit book saw the light of day. Chuffed to bits!
