Artisans Join our Show
In 2020 we will again feature a couple of local artisans to the show and sell their works. Superb glass artist Roberta Easton, from Red Hill, will again feature her colourful work. We featured Roberta three years ago to the high acclaim of those in attendance.
We will also display some fascinating Wind Sculpture pieces from local Mt Martha artist Rudi Jass. His work has been widely acquired by various groups such as councils, galleries and nurseries. His sculptures are also popular in local household gardens.
