Overview

To celebrate his latest book What a Ripper! 60 everyday objects that shaped Australia, Tim Ross is being joined on stage at the National Library by one of the designers featured in the book, Mary Featherston.

After a short presentation on his favourite iconic designs in the book, Mary (an icon herself) will join him on the stage to talk about her life in design, her creative partnership with her late husband Grant and her passionate design work in the education space.

This is a rare opportunity to hear from one of Australia's most celebrated designers.

Tim will be available in the Library Foyer for a book signing after the event.

Please make a booking via the National Library website.
