From a blank page to a leather-bound treasure, bookbinder Gillian Stewart takes us through the satisfying process of creating a handmade book.

In Edinburgh, Dawn Irvine is at Capital Theatres to chat accessible art and how to tailor it to those living with dementia. We also hear from Willy Gilder, who after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in early 2021, recognises more than ever the importance of having access to arts and culture.

Stepping into the otherworldly creations of set designer Furmaan Ahmed, Loop goes behind the scenes on a shoot with Glasgow band Walt Disco, as Furmaan explains how their work serves as a form of escapism from the reality we live in.
