6 Day | Saturday 18 – Thursday 23 March 2023
COMPENDIA: FORM AND CONTENT
Albums, sketchbooks, daybooks, journals and portfolios are essential tools of the creative trade. We will focus on three beautiful, functional structures: an album with removable pages, a versatile book suitable for drawing or writing, and a portfolio. We’ll make different coverings for the two books, and we’ll fill the portfolio with multiples we create and swap, in any medium, simple or complex, based around the theme of the Grampians landscape.

Avril Makula is a book artist, book designer and bookbinder. In her current practice, she prints and binds books using both new and old technologies, takes discarded books and restructures them into new forms, and makes prints using letter shapes. While much of her work explores the book as art using typography, geometry and colour as content, she finds herself increasingly influenced by the natural world around her. Avril co-curated ‘Place: an exhibition of artists books’, published a book called ‘Type Town: a neighbourhood of glyphs, graffiti, ligatures and legs’, and her work is held in public and private collections.
