Opening Event: Saturday 10th June 2pm – 4pm
An exhibition which explores with curiosity, modern day and personal ideas of femininity, through the practices of weaving, ceramics and painting.
"Throughout history women have gathered together, forming communities through the making of things with the intention of nurturing their families or enhancing their domestic environment. Ideas and ideals of femininity have informed society through these traditions over thousands of years.
The feminine and the domestic are intrinsically intertwined. Women are often drawn to collect precious things, to decorate their homes beyond the practical, to express their desire for colour and embellishment through the objects in their environment, both functional and ornamental.
To be feminine is to live whole heartedly, it celebrates people, family, and friends. Women have always given and gifted to those they love, often with items made by their own hands. The feminine comforts through food, creativity and stories."
