The exhibition monograph designed by Ian Robertson includes essays by Prue Venables, Alison Britton OBE and Neville French with photography by Terence Bogue and is available for sale from Australian Design Centre or from Object Shop online. The publication offers a rich insight into the depth and dedication of Prue’s practice, and the exquisite and graceful forms that result.

Created to celebrate the selection of Venables’ selection as Australian Design Centre’s ninth Living Treasure: Masters of Australian Craft and shown alongside the exhibition, which tours around Australia between 2019 to 2022, this film was made by Angus Lee Forbes for Australian Design Centre.
