A lovely reason to pop into the Artisans’ Guild Gallery

Guild member Joy Weatherall is pictured here with one of her beautiful paintings currently on display in the gallery. It’s a wonderful example of the original work you can discover when you visit — and, of course, there’s much more to see from our talented local artists and artisans.

If you haven’t visited for a while, come in for a browse, enjoy the latest displays and perhaps find a piece that speaks to you. Supporting the gallery also means supporting local creatives and keeping our local arts community thriving.

Joy’s painting is on display throughout September — but seeing artwork in person is always better than seeing it on a screen!

Come and have a look. You never know what you might discover.

Creativity thrives when people come together. Here’s some lovely moments captured at the Guild this month — artisans sharing ideas, techniques, and plenty of conversation. Being an artisan is as much about community as it is about creativity.

Artwork of the Week. Marie Browning has long been admired for the delicate handling she uses for the subjects of her paintings.

Created in oils, this group of Pelicans lining the shorefront can almost be heard as they preen and dry in the sunshine.

Marie's paintings can be enjoyed hanging in both the Gallery in Burpengary and the shop in Caboolture Square . Take a look, and you won't be disappointed.

Our members create an incredible range of work, and this is just another example of the talent abounding within the Guild.

Some creative works of can take many thoughtful hours to bring it to life.

Sashiko hand stitching is a Japanese style of work with a long history and is traditionally stitched with ecru coloured threads on dark blue fabrics using a variety of designs to achieve a delightful and functional finished article.

This beautiful adaptation into a cushion, a prize winner from a local show, is sure to be much admired in any setting.

You might drive past the Artisans’ Guild and wonder what’s actually in there. The answer? Quite a lot.

Step inside and you’ll find a changing collection of locally made art and craft — paintings, woodwork, textiles, ceramics, jewellery, handcrafted gifts and plenty of one-of-a-kind pieces you won’t find in a chain store.

Some things are practical. Some are beautiful. Some are wonderfully unusual. And because our members are always creating, there is often something new to discover.

You don’t need to be an artist or be looking for anything in particular. Just come in, have a wander and see what catches your eye.

You may find a gift, something special for your home, or simply enjoy seeing what talented local makers are creating right here in our community.

Meet one of our local artists — Daphne Thompson 🎨

For Daphne, painting is more than creating a finished picture. It is a chance to become completely absorbed in colour, detail and the simple enjoyment of making something.

Working primarily in acrylic and pastels, Daphne combines realism with a colourful, expressive approach. Her creative journey began in her teenage years, encouraged by her father, and art has remained an important part of her life ever since.

Daphne is one of the many talented local artists whose work you can discover through the Artisans’ Guild Gallery & Shop.

A visit to the Gallery is a little different every time. Our members are constantly creating new work, so there is always something fresh to see — from paintings and textiles to woodwork, ceramics, jewellery and other handcrafted pieces.

If you enjoy discovering original work made by people from our own community, pop in and have a browse.
