Limited edition books and zines by Deborah Klein
Compliments of the Season from Moth Woman Press to book and zine lovers everywhere.
A selection of Moth Woman Press limited edition mini-zines, all packed up and ready for the BMI Christmas Maker Market on Sunday, 18 December, 9 am - 2 pm at BMI, Ballarat. If, like me, you’re a last minute Christmas shopper, they make excellent stocking fillers. (Click on images to enlarge).
This year BMI are aiming to create a more immersive experience for visitors by placing stallholders in a variety of locations throughout the building. Come on down - or in our case, up. You’ll find us on the 4th floor in the Humffray Room.Moth Woman Press are excited to be first time participants in the BMI Maker and Community Market at Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute Library on Sunday, December 18, 9 am - 2 pm.
Along with Moth Woman Press Publications old and new, we’ll be presenting a selection of miniature silhouette paintings, some of which also feature in our zines. For a preview of two of the silhouette paintings, visit Deborah Klein’s Art Blog HERE.

Yesterday’s visit to Playing in the Attic to replenish supplies of Moth Woman Press books, postcards and limited edition zines found the shop looking particularly resplendent.
It’s encouraging to know that after all these years, folk are still collecting our little zines (arrayed on Trudy’s counter in the top pic).

Yesterday I received some terrific news. The APW George Collie Exhibition at Australian Print Workshop Gallery, Melbourne, originally scheduled to end on 1 October, has been extended to 15 October. The exhibition is accompanied by a goodly selection of Moth Woman Press artist books and zines.
