SALA 2017

I finally got a chance to plan some SALA exhibition visits!  I can’t wait to visit some of the exhibitions that are in the guide.  I tend to visit most of the jewellery exhibitions!  And some of the mixed-media and sculpture exhibitions.  And then I’ll see what time I have left over to visit other exhibitions.  I know there is a way to search for the exhibitions on the SALA website, and I think they even have an app, but there is something about looking at all of the exhibitions in the guide that I really like.

Are you planning to visit any SALA exhibitions this year?

Growth

This range of jewellery was created with Bethany Wine bottles, and is inspired by the growth of the vines.  I have loved watching the grapevines change from bare sticks, to fully formed with leaves and grapes.

I have used a selection of wine bottles from the winery.  I love the lighter green in this range!  So pretty.  The earrings below are a new shape, and I am really loving how they look.

Seasons

One of the things I wanted to do in this exhibition was to represent some of the beautiful colours of the Barossa.  The grape vines change throughout the year, leaves change colour, grapes grow, it’s really quite a spectacular place.  At the moment the vines are all barren, and they are starting to grow again, ready for the next harvest.

These pieces are all on display at Bethany Wines, they are just out of Tanunda (which is a great town to visit too)!

Pepper Street Art Centre – SALA 2017

I’m so pleased to be part of the Pepper Street Art Centre SALA exhibition for this year.

The theme of the exhibition is “The Art of Craft” and I was inspired by the colour wheel to make this selection of jewellery.  I always love working with the colour wheel!  I love the big dotty necklace.  And I could see myself wearing the earrings (of course)!

Thanks to everyone at Pepper Street for their huge amount of work getting the exhibition up and running, well done.

re(wine)d

Hello!  I’m excited to share a quick photo of the exhibition that I have set up at Bethany Wines.  The exhibition is called “re(wine)d” and features jewellery that I have made from the glass bottles from the Bethany Winery!  The pieces are selling quite quickly, which is really lovely, so if you are planning to visit the exhibition as part of your SALA adventure this year, I’d probably go sooner, rather than later…

Greenery

When the window display theme for SALA at T’Arts was announced, I knew I had to be part of it!  “Greenery” is the theme for the window, and I have made all of the beads from recycled glass sources.  Embellishing some, leaving others undecorated.  I have made some really new work for the window, and hope you enjoy it while it is there for the month of August!
