This is a good read for any crafty makers out there who are thinking of applying for a Design Market for the first time. Read the full article here.

I should have posted about this exhibition in December before it began, it’s all over now but I’d still like to share it with you.

MELT was a wee little exhibition of rings that I made and had on show for the month of December 2011 at Urban Cow Studio in Adelaide. Thanks to everyone who went along to have a look and for all of your positive feedback and purchases.

A collection of rings by Adelaide jeweller Katrina Weber, these utterly individual creations found their inspiration in a free-form organic play of precious metals: 18ct gold, pure silver and sterling silver.

Wrought raw in the studio making process, each ring finds it own direction. Natural and found objects (dried leaves, fabrics, papers) roller printed into the metal surface. Rings becoming collective nouns for granulated globules of silver and gold, nestled together upon bands of fused silver in fine textures of matt and bright finishes.

Whimsical and delicate, precious rings to grace a hand.

THE ALL FEMALE ART COLLECTIVE ARE BACK BIGGER AND BRIGHTER FOR THEIR THIRD INSTALMENT

The Frauleins make fine art with heart.

It’s all about love, imagination, beauty and the truth of being a girl. It will enrich your soul. Or flirt with you. It’ll be cute and coy and probably charm your socks off. … This flock of lovelies, born from the creative hub that is Urban Cow, invites you to join them for the opening of their third group show, Three Times A Lady.

Be enchanted by the latest thoughtful anthology of painting, illustration and keepsakes from the all-female art collective, as they take you on a trip to lady land. With a combined back catalogue of works gracing the pages of many a fine magazine, the likes of Frankie, Yen, Inside Out and Home Beautiful all agree these eleven artists and designers are top shelf.

Fancy a gander at these visual delights? Then come along to the Fraulein’s new venue at Gallery on Waymouth (rooftop bar included) to enjoy some banter and bevvies, plus the marvellous specimens on display!
