Life, death, celebration, community and nature



What have you made recently?

We have recently embarked on a project to build four new Giant puppets- A 19-metre Rainbow Serpent Dragon, a 5-metre tall white Egret, a 5-metre tall black Cockatoo and 5-metre tall owl. As part of this project we have hand drawn designs that we printed onto the giant puppet costumes. we have then taken these images and also printed them on bags, t-shirts and tea towels.

The antique key and lock images will feature on the Giant owl and symbolise incarceration and freedon, the day of the dead images will feature on the black cockatoo puppet that symbolises the celebration of death.

Why are handmade crafts important to you?

Hand made is an important journey for both artist and customer. For customers it is the chance to both support and delight in unique art pieces that are not factory produced. In turn, artists are able to have their creations.
