Barbara Heath's House Geisters from Tinsmith: An Ordinary Romance

 

Featured above are some of Barbara Heath's beautifully tinsmithed House Geisters that form part of the magnificent body of work in our current exhibition of Tinsmith: An Ordinary Romance. The show reveals the fascinating forgotten history of tinsmithing in South East Queensland and launches her collection of extraordinary new objects such as the House Geisters pictured above. Tinsmith: An Ordinary Romance is on display at artisan until the 13th November. Work is available for sale from the gallery and will soon be available for sale from our online store. A catalogue designed by Mal Enright that details the lost craft of tinsmithing in South East Queensland is also available for sale at the exhibition.

BIG SOUND at the artisan gallery outdoor stage!

Artisan was proud to partner with QMusic, Queensland's music industry development association, on BIG SOUND 2010, an urban music festival held in the heart of Fortitude Valley. BIG SOUND, one of Australia's most internationally focused music conferences, produces three days of panels, workshops and artist showcases for local, national and international music industry representatives.

Following on from the enormous success of 2009's showcase held in our car park, artisan again provided an outdoor venue for BIG SOUND 2010 – The artisan Gallery Outdoor Stage.

Below are some photographs from the very successful BIG SOUND 2010.
