Booktown on Sunday - December 2024

Booktown on Sunday - immerse yourself in Clunes, from cover to cover!

Join Rebecca Russell in conversation with Criss Canning, author of The Paintings of Criss Canning: The House and Gardens at Lambley.

For thirty-five years, Criss has lived in a charming 1860's farmhouse with the adjoining gardens at Lambley, a highly regarded nursery near Ballarat. A fully illustrated monograph on the life and art of one of Australia’s most exceptional still-life artists.

Held on the second Sunday of each the month, to tie in with the wonderful Clunes Farmers and Makers Market in the morning, so plan for a lovely drive into town, catch the train, or stay the wekeend! (https://www.clunesbooktown.org.au/stay-in-clunes/)

We throw open the doors of our lovely historic home of the Clunes Railway Station at 11:00am, when there will be a pre-loved book stall, with an author talk to follow at 1:30pm - so there is ample time to explore the market and grab a bite of lunch. We aim to be wrapped up by 3pm so you can catch the train home if needed.

Entry is free (but please book a ticket), with drinks available to buy throughout the author talk, along with some networking opportunities afterwards.
