celebrates 15 years at our residency centre

Printmaking. Poetry. Installation. Animation.
Fibre art. Storytelling. Short story. Video. 

Also on display will be work from our collection:
Kate Coolahan, John Bevan Ford, Pippa Sanderson, and items from our 1911 homestead.
 
 
This exhibition is made possible with support from Trust House.
