Hear Julie Paterson in conversation at ClothBound & Beyond

Australian Design Centre will host an intimate conversation with Australian designer and author Julie Paterson, August 10.


Bringing to life the vivid fabrics on display at Australian Design Centre’s latest exhibition Cloth: Seeds to Bloom, Australian Design Centre’s Director Steven Pozel will host an intimate one-on-one conversation with Julie Paterson.

During this intimate conversation, Julie will share some of the stories contained in her new book ClothBound. Julie will explain how the flora of her Blue Mountains home has infused and inspired her work, and discuss the ways in which her studio practice has grown and developed over the past 20 years.

Julie’s latest book, ClothBound documents her creative process and practice. It traces the development of nine collections from the first inklings of an idea, to exploratory artworks made in her Blue Mountains studio, all the way through to the finished fabric designs and products.

While you’re there be sure to browse Australian Design Centre’s latest exhibition Cloth: Seeds to Bloom running July 17 to August 15. It traces 20 years of Julie Paterson’s designs. Drawing inspiration from the Australian bush, Julie’s stunning fabrics are a riot of colour and floral forms, bursting across lengths of natural linen fabric.

Be sure to register to ClothBound & Beyond – Julie Paterson in conversation, and visit Cloth: Seeds to Bloom before it closes, August 15.
