Written and hand drawn by award-winning author Sarah Richardson, Make

Your Mark is part drawing manual and part activity book, designed to build

confidence and unlock creativity in all who use it.

Rather than providing too many prescriptive instructions, Make Your Mark

functions as a drawing aid, taking its readers on a creative journey. Beginning

with the joys of scribbling, they learn how to create tone, line, shape, texture

and pattern, eventually arriving at the more sophisticated principles involved

in drawing animals and people and mastering perspective.

Unlike so many practical art books, which tend to be dreary and poorly

designed, Make Your Mark is as visually stimulating as it is thought provoking

and fun to use. Drawing on her extensive experience of teaching art to both

adults and children, Sarah Richardson’s use of her own drawings and

photographs brings a vitality and freshness to the book’s pages which are as

inspiring as her concise and pithy texts. Through its wide range of activities

and creative challenges, this book will help young artists discover their own

potential, giving them the confidence to go ahead and make their mark.

Sarah Richardson is an artist who has taught art in a number of London

schools, as well as teaching on courses for PGCE student teachers at

Goldsmiths and the Institute of Education. She is the author of the best-

selling Art in a Box, which won the 2006 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold

Award in the USA.

In this interactive colouring and activity book, Marion Deuchars takes the broad canvas of art and fills it with drawings and activities that engage with what art can be, how it can be

made, what it can mean for you and what it has meant for people through the ages. Aimed at children aged eight and older, the emphasis is on fun and making the creation of art

an integral part of the way you express yourself.

Yuppies, Yippies, Jet Setters, Bright

Young Things, Generation X,

Generation Y... and now the Gypset.

Fusing the ease and carefree lifestyle of

a gypsy with the sophistication of the

jet set, the Gypsetters are artists,

surfers, designers, and bon vivants who

live and work around the globe, from

Jose Ignacio, Uruguay and Ibiza, Spain,

to Montauk, New York. Gypset Style

explores the unconventional,

wanderlust lives of these high-low

cultural nomads and the bohemian

enclaves they inhabit, as well as their

counterculture forbears, such as the

Victorian explorers, the Lost

Generation, the Beatniks, and the

hippies. And along the way, author Julia

Chaplin looks back at quintessential

gypsy boho moments in social history.

Reuben takes you on a roadtrip through his past from hunting and cooking pigeons on the

farms of Franschhoek as a kid, to his travels. In Braai, Reuben on Fire, he challenges you to lift

your game above the simple tanning of a chop and burning of boerie.

Delving into the business of naming rights, the politics of the braai, the logistics of the braai

timeline and the importance of developing a relationship with your butcher, Reuben covers the

basics before getting into the meat of the matter. Throughout the book tips and tactics and wine

and beer food pairings are dispersed liberally while braai myths are blown out of the water.

The dishes are unmistakably South African in flavour and feel. From new versions of standard

rockstar South African ingredients to digging deep into the spectrum of what is possible on a

braai, Braai − Reuben on Fire is a book for any braai fan keen to take their skills to the next level.

South African artist William Kentridge is internationally acclaimed for his drawings, films, and theatre and

opera productions. He is also an innovative and prolific printmaker – of etchings, engravings, aquatints,

silkscreens, linocuts and lithographs – often experimenting with challenging formats and combinations of

printing techniques to create highly worked, intensely atmospheric imagery. His prints range in scale from

intimate etchings and drypoints to linocuts on rice paper and canvas measuring over eight feet high and are

reproduced on a variety of materials, a tactile approach which is echoed in the design and production of this

volume.

This unique and beautifully presented book includes almost 100 prints from 1988 to the present, with a

stress on experimental, collaborative and serial works. Kentridge’s distinctive use of light and shadow and

silhouettes, his concern with memory and perspective, and his absorption in literary texts are all strongly in

evidence throughout this book, which provides new insights into the working methods of this prolific artist.

Bewitched by Mozambique’s

dazzling beauty, its alluring

architecture, multihued seascapes,

rambunctious markets and harbours

with antiquated sailing craft, travel

writer Justin Fox set out to capture

all of these in his latest book, a

hardcover, full-colour photographic

feast accompanied by a compelling

text. Under the Sway offers you

glimpses of a country, captured by a

traveller who has traversed its highs

and lows, unembroidered and

unembellished. The photographer is

a craftsman who takes us along on a

photographic journey from the deep

south of Ponto de Oura to the wild

north at Entre Lagos in a sweeping

exploration of this impressive

country. Under the Sway is a visually

striking, beautifully designed and

highly personal depiction of a

glorious land whose popularity with

tourists – from South Africa in

particular – continues to grow in

leaps and bounds.
