‘We enjoy sharing our love of calligraphy and the written word with other calligraphers and introducing the joys of hand lettering to new students.”

This Exhibition is a celebration of calligraphy’s beauty – past and present. With many years of working on and teaching the art of Calligraphy, this group of artists explore the art of writing through traditional and modern styles. They will be running weekend workshops at the Gallery throughout the month of October in conjunction with their Exhibition

Artist Stament – Daphne Gooly

My work in this joint exhibition is based on photos and drawings that I made when

 I first arrived in Australia of differential weathering of beachside rocks. Originally, I used the images in paintings, but in the 1980 ‘s printmaking became my preferred medium and I produced a series of prints, some of which are  included in this exhibition.

I have recently re-visited this theme to extend the ideas from the original drawings. The prints are mostly multilayered monoprints with the addition in some cases  of Lino cuts and other media, and are hand printed with oil-based printing inks.

Artists Statement – Anne Rogan

This work focuses essentially on the natural world, the study of geological formations in ocks and seashells which hold many shapes and forms which attract me to capture them, mainly in oil paint, or watercolour.
I am happiest while I am painting, the love of painting, creating new work and to explore contemporary painting style is a challenge to my artwork generally, and it is the driver for me to produce balanced work, to feel it is resolved until I am happy with the result.

Wool, Wood and other fibres
With so many natural fibres in their natural or aged colours or when dyed using colours from nature or those from the chemist, it is impossible not to have a go at using them all. So this exhibition is a bit of everything .

Artist – Jane Sherborne-Higgins

Title – Wool, Wood & Other Fibre

Opening – Saturday, 2 August, 2025 at 2 pm

A collection of handmade pottery from 5 local ceramic makers, united by a love of
clay in all its diversity. A celebration of graceful offerings, flights of fancy and
harmonious geometries.
A variety of pieces: for everyday domestic use, special occasions, for
interior/exterior enhancement, for deeper contemplation and appreciation of the
handmade.
