Part of the creators’ feature artist programme, this exhibition will take pride of place in the centre of Black Wattle Gallery and presents mixed media birds, dolls, hats and odd objects from the imaginations of Cathy Blake and Sharyn Wotton.
Felt and feathers, fabrics, beads , paint , paper and yarn , coaxed and hassled into objects of amusement or delight, to wear or contemplate, these whimsies will keep your head warm and your brain entertained.
Ms Blake and Ms Wotton met at the Quaama and Cobargo quilt club and are both founding members of The Frayed Edges of Quaama, an adult playgroup for fibre artists.
Ms Wotton is a slave to fibre arts, having had an interest in cloth dolls since 1999 and more recently in mixed media birds.
Ms Blake has always sewed for recreation, always deviated from the pattern, took up quilting in 1987, and intends to spend the rest of her creative life playing with whatever medium next takes her fancy.
Join the artists and their guests for the opening from 10.30am on June 27.
Refreshments will be provided along with live music by Jay McMahon.
The Cobargo Creators Centre is at 60 Princes Hwy, Cobargo.
