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 […]
It won’t be long now til ‘Wild Windows of Whimsy’, an exhibition of my crochet wearable art opens! A little bit over three weeks as I type this. So much still to get done, and plenty of hats still to make but it’s all happening. It will be showing at Gallery on Dowling in Dungog, […]
That title’s quite the tongue-twister, but it is certainly apt. “Wild Windows of Whimsy” is the name of an upcoming exhibition by Lisa Wiseman. So yes- here is the big announcement… From 25 November to 5th December, 2022, Lisa’s colourful crochet headgear, garments and accessories will be on show in the front window of Gallery […]
Well, despite all the wet weather, we haven’t floated off down the creek just yet. We’re still here and still making things, but it’s been a while, so I’m busily working away at updating our shop, adding some new features and of course new items. Like Lorraine’s beautiful Golden Garden lap quilt (below) or my […]
