SUMMARY:Creating Tea Cosies
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nIt’s what we’re all about – our beloved tea cosies. Do you want to learn the basics\, upskill\, embellishments? Well our local legend Leonie will gently help you on your way. And then at the next festival you’ll be ready to cosy your way into our hearts and minds! \nLeonie Margetts moved to the area in 2004. She has five daughters and three grandchildren. She lives with her devoted dog Maisie who allows her to knit as long as she gets out for the occasional stroll. Leonie’s active\, creative brain is always thinking of what to knit next and what colours will work with what. She’s always loved sewing and knitting and usually doesn’t need patterns – she just makes them up. \nKnitting tea cosies helped Leonie cope with the loss of her daughter to cancer in 2009. When Fish Creek held its first Tea Cosy Festival in 2013 she came second\, with a design that to this day is one of her favourites. Over the years she has made hundreds – all original and whatever idea came into her mind. What a genius! \nLeonie is joining us to assist knitters with getting started\, getting finished and creating any embellishments their active and creative brains dream up in the session. \nLeonie is running three sessions this week\, so there’s plenty of opportunities to get that cosy completed! \n								\n									tickets earlybird prices to april 7

SUMMARY:Ride the Wild Goat Gallery & Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Permanent display of artworks \nHaving spent over 35 years making things\, largely in the solid timber furniture sector\, Andy has built up phenomenal skills. He’s now turned those skills to making beautiful things. Andy’s gift is to see beauty where others may not and then\, by presenting it in the right way\, they can see it also. Sometimes that is as simple as lifting it from the ground and placing it on the wall. At other times it requires a great deal of manipulation. Knowing which to do is part of Andy’s creative magic. You will often find him in the workshop next to the gallery space creating the next piece. \nClosed Wednesday \n

SUMMARY:Sarah Saridis Exhibition @ Little Oberon
DESCRIPTION:Sarah’s inspiration comes from the rugged beauty in the bushy coastal landscape where she lives in Walkerville\, South Gippsland. It’s a beauty that reflects strength\, endurance and vulnerability – in the twisted branches shaped by coastal winds\, the intricate micro worlds of shape and pattern in plants and the majestic\, ancient rock formations. Light and colour is her language to express an inner space\, deeply felt through an intuitive response to the landscape. Little Oberon is open 9am to 2pm every day of the festival (except 10am on Sundays for a tiny sleep in)
