[Not A] Basket Case

Saturday 6 March to Thursday 1 April 2021 

Making a case for contemporary basket art. This show brings together contemporary Australian and international basketry artists for a one-off group exhibition, featuring an incredible array of styles and techniques, which showcases the best this medium has to offer. 
Basket weaving is an ancient art practice, which highlights both humanity's dependence on nature and nature's ascendency as the organic forms defy constraint. 
There will be wall hangings and sculptural pieces - ideal for homes, office spaces and hospitality venues.
 

 
 Forgotten Needlework Tools
April 2021 

In collaboration with the Needlework Tool Collectors Society of Australia, the exhibition explores 'forgotten' needlework tools, everything from darners to sewing birds, once used daily by professional and amateur stitchers alike, now largely obsolete.
There are some absolutely exquisite pieces and we hope you will be able to visit the Gallery in person to enjoy them. Our wonderful member Kerry Easton will be running a series of talks on different 'forgotten' needlework tools.
More information coming soon.
