Exhibitions in 2021
This was our first online exhibition which was opened by our ambassador for Craft NSW, Claudia Chan Shaw, October 8 2021 to October 31 2021.
We had three wonderful guest exhibitors, Lynn Pavey-textile artist and 2 artists working in ceramics- Nicky Coady and Cintia Yamane Lemann.
The work of our guest artists and the work of Craft NSW members was featured in the online exhibition. Textiles were more dynamic than ever - woven, shibori dyed, knitted, crocheted, painted and embroidered; woodwork to please the hand and eye, jewellery to amuse and admire and all made by hand with a dedication to craft.
The Value of Hands Online Exhibition was part of Sydney Craft Week 2021 and coordinated by the Australian Design Centre. This festival aimed to showcase our creativity and the power of making Craft.
Stories Told
Sunday 15-Sunday 30 May 2021

STORIES TOLD … by inspired makers
Narratives of the handmade object, by inspired makers.
Every handmade object has a narrative, the history or ‘story’ of its making. Whether it is the source of the raw materials – the particular clay site, pigment, dye, metal, timber or threads, the nature and origin of the necessary tools, or the inspiration behind individual patterns and motifs, the story of each handmade object is unique.
Handmade with Passion…and celebration of the Lunar New Year
An exhibition of handmade crafts in traditional and contemporary interpretations by The Society of Arts and Crafts of New South Wales

This Is Us - Ceramics exhibition
_________________________________________________________________________
Sarah, Briget and Caroline are three ceramicists who bonded through clay at TAFENSW Brookvale Campus. We are delighted to host their new exhibition with us at Craft NSW. Their Exhibition, “This Is Us”, showcases their latest works which feature dry glazes, raku firing, high fire glazes and fibres dipped in slip. Sarah is influenced by her travels to the outback, she loves the boab trees and their shapes and texture. She has used raku firing and dry glazes to bring the trees to life. Still working with natural forms, Sarah has created the Genesis series of saggar fired and glazed eggs. Bridget’s female forms come in all shapes and sizes, as in real life. Bridget has also been working on functional ware and developing her glaze combinations. Caroline’s creations stem from her love of yarn, in this series of work Caroline has combined fibres with liquid clay or slip and created vessel like shapes. The forms are knitted or crocheted using natural fibres. They look like a soft yarnie knitted form yet hold their ceramic shape.
