Pre-order: The Artists' Space

For the past 10 months, we have been working on an exciting Foundry project - a beautiful hardcover photography book, The Artists' Space.

To help cover the cost of printing, we're offering pre-orders now to secure your copy. Order and pay today, and your freshly printed book will be ready for collection (or postage) around the end of November.

About the book

For over a decade, Foundry has quietly grown from a small shop in Bairnsdale into a thriving creative community. The Artists' Space steps behind the finished work to reveal what happens before it - the studios, sheds, kitchen tables and quiet corners where 28 local artists and makers shape their ideas into being.

Through original photography by Deb Blennerhassett and Mike Raymond, and written profiles by Jes John, our book offers a rare opportunity to step inside the places where creativity unfolds. From purpose-built workshops and converted sheds to home studios overlooking rivers, farmland and coastline, each space reflects the unique relationship between an artist, their practice and the landscape they call home.

The artists featured are:

Sabine Amos, Brian Appleton, Barry Ashton, Daudai Brown, Pauline Crunden, Inge de Koster, Naomi Enright, Penny Gray, Chris Guthleben, Andrea Hall, Jill Hermans, Sarah Holt, Deanne Howlett, Josephine Jakobi, Daniel Jenkins, Jes John, Callie Leed, Jenny Marsden, Suzanne Martin, Clare Murphy, Marlene Rees, Wendy Reeve, Gavin Roberts, Elisabeth Scott, Kate Shone, Sam Thomas, Cindy Tong & Julia Trezise.
