2 Day | Saturday 19 – Sunday 20 March 2022
OLD BOOKS: NEW BOOKWORK this workshop is fully booked, email textures@grampianarts.com.au to go on the waiting list. Old and discarded books provide a great resource for making new artwork. Pre-loved books can be upcycled, transformed and have new life breathed into them. Make new artists books from old atlases; use cut-up text to tell a story; collage book illustrations with your own drawing to make new imagery; rebind old books into sculptural structures. The possibilities are endless. |
4 Day | Monday 21 – Thursday 24 March 2022
BOOKWORK: CONCEPT TO CASEBOUND this workshop is fully booked, email textures@grampianarts.com.au to go on the waiting list. Understanding the characteristics of paper, how a codex functions, and the techniques of case binding are valuable skills for any artist who wants to incorporate bookmaking in their creative practice. Make a bookwork from start to finish: develop an idea; plan content; plot pages; use imagery, words or both to tell a story or convey meaning; and bind the book. |

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.
