Last week in Create & Make we began working on soft sculptures. Continuing along the theme of shapes, colours and abstract work our young artists drew up their patterns and then proceeded to cut these out. Then using coloured threads sewed patterns across the hessian and added various buttons and beads to their designs. This week they will be sewing the two sides together and adding the filling. We can't wait to see the final works.

~Final Days~

Don't miss your last chance to see Joy by Cathy Jenner, closing on Saturday.

Cathy Jenner is an artist based on the North West Coast of Tasmania who constructs elaborate narrative universes. Central to Cathy’s practice is an enduring sense of joy. Positioning herself as “the Producer,” Cathy adopts multiple creative roles simultaneously – director, editor, costume designer, and set builder – shifting between them as each story demands.

Her works do not resolve into a single finished film or performance. Instead, they exist as fragments of scripts, maps, storyboards, photographs, props, paintings, backdrops, sculptures and costumes.

This exhibition is part of our 2026 Little Gallery Emerging Artist Program.

Create & Make

This week our young artists got hands on with some experimental paper and wire sculpture making. Last weeks drawings were cut up and used along with wire, tape, cardboard and coloured paper to create sculptures that explored shape and movement.

Using cardboard as the base and wire as the frame, they came up with some rather interesting work.
