BENNETT BUMBLEBEE: DISCOVERING COMPANIONS IN THE GARDEN
Penland School of Crafts // Artist Residency Winter 2015
There is much to be learned when understanding relationships that exist within a garden. Some plants get along better than others and some just don't get along at all. Bennett Bumblebee is a letterpressed book that teaches children about companion planting by using vibrant characters and relatable dialogue crafted into a story that is fun and adventurous. All type was handset and printed on a Vandercook 4 Proof Press. Illustrations were done by Natalie Clark.
Note: This project is currently being watercolored and hand bound. Expected release is 2022.
