We're quite excited especially because the day will see the launch of our own collaborative and commemorative 32 page zine - depicting "The Art Of No Guts No Glory"!
Our little house has been transformed into a paper workshop over the past few days as we've been getting them ready!
You can see a sneak preview on Nath's blog.
The cover was inspired by No Guts No Glory's Journey and designed by NGNG Artist Jack Teagle....(who will be joining us on Saturday!)
This Saturday 3rd November we will be adorning this old and beautiful space that is McCoys Arcade with a fine and friendly array of local makers, artists and friends. We hope you'll be there too, to celebrate 3 years of No Guts No Glory, three years of celebrating Independent Art, Small Press and D.I.Y in the South West!
