Free entry. Bookings required.
Saskia and Alice will take you on a journey to a vibrant world of cookbooks and children’s literature, brought to life with the skill and playful magic of illustration.
Graphic designer Saskia Ericson works at the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation, cooking up fun designs and illustrations for projects ranging from recipe booklets to textiles and annual reports.
A keen cook and collector, Saskia’s treasured illustrated vintage cookbook collection has featured in Frankie magazine, and at the Ephemera Society of Australia Symposium. Saskia loves to write about food and vintage nostalgia. She ran a food blog for many years, and blogged about vintage children’s toys, cakes and pop culture for UK children’s magazine, Anorak.
Alice Oehr is an illustrator and designer from Melbourne. Her distinct, colourful style incorporates a love of food, pattern, collage and drawing. She draws both for work and for fun, which has led her to teaching, speaking and writing on the subject.
