AN OPEN EMAIL FROM LORRAINE WISEMAN… I realise that the DAS Special General Meeting to be held at 3 – 4 pm on 1 April 2026 is at an inconvenient time for most if not all. Members can not be expected to use fuel, especially two days before the Easter period. However, please take the […]
MEMBERS OF DUNGOG ARTS SOCIETY… Please attend the Special General Meeting, appropriately scheduled on April Fool’s Day by Dungog Arts Society’s committee. As a member of DAS, you need to know the facts, and be prepared to ask questions. Why? Because your committee is telling lies, discriminating against and bullying a past president and secretary, […]
Again, it’s been a while since I updated. I have the best of intentions, then get busy, as probably many of us do. Anyway, I’ve been working on some interesting things, including more murals. I have finished the railings at Mussel Creek today, in fact. Which is what’s prompted me to update and add a […]
It’s been a while since I’ve posted about the Liddell WORKS Project and how my little bit of it is going, so I thought I’d add some pics of a new Liddell-inspired crochet hardhat. The inspiration for this one is the strongly contrasting geometric patterns made by the peculiarly Liddell-coloured light sources shining through and […]
As part of the Liddell WORKS Project which I’m participating in as an artist in residence, I’ll be teaching workshops at the Create By The Lake event, at Lake Liddell, on the 4th of October, 2023. These workshops are free and they’re open to anyone, including children. There is more info on the Arts Upper […]
So I’ve been happily crocheting away on some of the hats for the Liddell WORKS Project. I started with a few simpler ones to get the shape and design worked out, just basic hard hats in crochet, really. But while I say, “basic”, they’re actually pretty complex with- two “shells”, that is, an inner and […]
I’m excited to say that I’ve been selected as one of the artists to be given a residency position as part of the Liddell WORKS Project! What is that, you may ask? Well, for my friends from overseas or interstate, Liddell is a huge, old, coal-powered power station in the Upper Hunter, which is being […]
Today I picked up the remaining crochet from the Wild Windows of Whimsy show, and posted the last item, which was Go Anna Dragon. The exhibition has been very successful in a few ways- it has gained quite a bit of interest from local people who saw it in Dungog, and provoked quite a few […]
Wild Windows of Whimsy, the window show of my crochet has been extended for another week! That means it will remain available at Gallery on Dowling and cerublu.com.au/wwow until the 11th December. So if you haven’t yet had a chance to see all the fabulous, colourful crochet, you now have another week to check it […]
It’s all happening at Gallery on Dowling, 120 Dowling Street Dungog and here, of course. The show is well underway now, with a fantastic first evening coinciding with the Starry, Starry Night street party, which brought many locals and visitors into town to celebrate. The window display is really eye-catching and beautifully bright, and is […]
