Silvergrass Press is

a space to develop and create collaborative photobooks where the form and narrative of the book, craft and process are valued as much as the social and relational aspects of making things public.

a space to explore individual and collective ideas of space, place and experience, cultivation, the land and the local.

Photobook – Social – Object 

Photobooks…

are social objects – in both production and dissemination, they are a conduit for change.

create opportunities for people to learn about themselves and others through making.

embody collaborative practices of making and sharing. 

generate conversation and exchange through the hand-mind connection.  

Silvergrass Press is a publishing project run by Emma Lambert.

Emma is a photographer and educator, currently teaching on the BA Photography programme at Coventry University. She works with experimental photographic publishing for both pedagogical exploration and creative curiosity.  She is interested in the physical, material and tactile processes involved in photobook-making and their potential to generate collaboration and social engagement.  

Silvergrass Press has been developed as a part of her practice-based PhD research at UCA Farnham as a part of bookRoom.
