Sascha - 'our friendly dog' with gallery visitors today

Another pic of Sascha with visitors to the gallery.

My work space from a visitor's perspective

These images were taken by a visitor to the gallery yesterday. Fascinating to see quite a different perspective of my work table.

Sascha - our 'friendly dog' with a young gallery visitor

Despite having 'friendly dog' signs around the car park, a few visitors to the gallery drive away without getting out of their cars. Despite my best efforts to stop her barking, Sascha does come racing down the drive barking loudly to greet each visitor, which is clearly disconcerting to some.

So, I'm going to post a few pics over the next few weeks showing how all she wants is to say "hello" and show the way in.

Bug Art

These double page spreads are from Robert Rosetzky's book 'Bug Art'. First published in 1995, '... it is dedicated to the little bugs who, whilst satisfying their voracious appetites, enhanced the simple beauty of leaves with their unwitting form of artistic expression'.

Ideas for your floor

One of several Afghani kilims currently in stock - predominantly in vibrant reds and oranges.

Hope to see you at the gallery soon

Well the holidays are over, kids are back at school and it's time for me to get back to painting tiles.
The summer has been kind so far, hopefully will remain so. Living in the midst of wondrous bushland is great for most of the year, but worrying during a hot summer.
Hope to see you at the gallery soon - so many beautifully hand-crafted items in stock as always!

A few last minute gift ideas

Wall hangings by Sharron Shalekoff

Here's what Sharron says about her work: 
"The colour produced by my hand-­dyeing is the central inspiration behind my current work, along with a passion for the natural world and its preservation. The combination of fabric, colour and stitch together with a subject close to my heart has proved irresistible."

New stock still arriving - more soon

A few ideas for that special gift

TripAdvisor

The gallery recently joined TripAdvisor. Great reviews already!

Something completely different

You won't find these hand-painted trivets anywhere else. If you're looking for a unique gift, this may well be the one!

Available in many different colour ways - your choice

Hope to see you at my refurbished gallery soon

Finally the gallery refurbishment is complete, with a great new walkway, no more gravel finding it's way onto our beautiful rugs and kelims! And more wheelchair/pram friendly as well.

Here are a few images of current works in stock to enjoy.
