Craft needs your support to fund a new exhibition catalogue.  

Early next year Craft (formerly Craft Victoria) will launch Signature Style, a major group exhibition exploring collaboration in contemporary jewellery. So far we have received the generous support of NETS Victoria to develop the exhibition for tour, but we need your support to produce the accompanying catalogue!

Your donation will support the design, printing and distribution of the Signature Style catalogue. 

The Signature Style catalogue will function as an extension of the exhibition, profiling the artists’ collaborative processes in image and text. Whilst the exhibition will feature finished works, the catalogue will provide insight into the working methods of the artists involved. The catalogue will be printed in limited edition using a Risograph printer. We have enlisted Melbourne-based graphic designer Simon Browne to design the catalogue and boutique printer Dawn Press to oversee the printing.

About Signature Style

Featuring the work of some of Melbourne’s most exciting artists and jewellery practitioners, Signature Style will be a significant addition to the emerging discourse around collaboration and contemporary craft. 

Signature Style will be a major group exhibition exploring models of collaborative practice in contemporary jewellery. Featuring the work of some of Melbourne’s most exciting artists and jewellery practitioners Signature Style will be a significant addition to the emerging discourse around collaboration and contemporary craft. Collaboration poses a very different method of working - by its very nature, collaboration eschews individual artistic identity in favour of some kind of 'third' position. Signature Style will examine new methodologies of working and 'work', thinking through the potentials of collaboration within craft and design.
