Winter seems to be the time for crafts in the South Burnett’s art world … and Wondai Regional Art Gallery has joined in the fun this month.
On Friday night, Mayor Kathy Duff – with help from Proston P-10 school students – officially opened the gallery’s June exhibition.
The Alpaca Collective has taken over the front and rear galleries with textile works by Julia and Kirsten Jeffery, and Jo and Sam Bowler.
Most are made with wool spun from Alpaca fleece.
Sam’s pieces include a stunning range of tartans.
In the main gallery, well-known local paper tole artist Rosemarie Matthews-Frederick has “Tole’d In Paper & Mixed Media”
Rosemarie – and some of her students – have added their own flair to paper tole works.
A strong contingent of teachers, students and parents turned up to inspect the works from Proston P-10 on display in Kidz Korner.
The exhibitions will remain on display until 3:00pm on Friday, July 5.
Entry to the gallery is free.
