I recently was appointed Social Media Reporter for Clunes Booktown Festival by Melbourne City of Literature. I sketched at Clunes on the day and wrote about in two blogposts.

I was also required to submit a Creative Response, The brief : The final creative piece is some form of artwork made in response to your overall festival experience. This piece is to act as a deeper reflection on your part about your experience of the festival, and to give you another opportunity to really get creative and experiment. You can think of this piece as either a summary of your whole experience, or an opportunity to really dive deep into one aspect of your experience you want to explore/portray.
I decided to draw in a book I purchased at Clunes. A previous blogpost described my plan.
Today I can show you all of the sketches that I did in the book I bought at Clunes Booktown Festival. I have all of my Clunes Sketches in a flickr album.
My book is : Language and Ideas: a course in English Expression for Junior Forms. Book 1by Lane, Brereton, Dobell and Nelson published by Hall’s Book Store Pty Ltd Melbourne 1964. 309 pages. Previously owned by David J Netherway (in child’s writing in pencil in the front page). Cost $4
The town of Clunes, the people and the books reflect my experience at Clunes Booktown Festival. Combined together, these three elements created a unique event with a special atmosphere.
Love your concept of drawing in books for your Creative Response to Clunes Festival
Thank you .! It was great fun !
