Handmadelife are going old skool this week with the uber-trad craft of the covered Coathanger. A new show at Yarra Sculpture Gallery promises to present 'traditional craft skills in a contemporary light'. We know with makers like the wonderous Jenny Bartholemew crossed with the always fantastic Country Womens Association involved it is going to be a wild ride into the wardrobe.
For those of you that haven't ventured to the sculpture gallery, make the effort because it's a really interesting alternative space for 'objects'.
We wonder, do craftspeople ever think of themselves as sculptors?
Yarra Sculpture Gallery 117 Vere Street Abbotsford. www.sculptors.org.au show runs til Oct 29

I remember having coat hangers like those. the woven plastic ones are mighty fine :)
Making toys, one definitely sculpts, and it requires quite a lot of patience. You guys would know what I mean, especially with your soft alphabet for Morph 2;)

oh Florence all I remember from that alphabet is stuffing. stuffing until our fingers bled (well not quite that dramatic).
