Jessie Deane

This is Jessie Deane’s piece, “Maersk Containers” which was shortlisted for the inaugural 2015 Victoria Craft Award – beautiful stitching and wonderful colours.

Jessie Deane is a textile artist from Yarraville in Melbourne’s west. She recently won the 2014 Melbourne Fringe Best Visual Arts Award for her exhibition, ‘(Thr)edifice’ and her latest exhibition, ‘Stitching Spotswood’, is currently showing at the Duchess of Spotswood. “My work captures, in thread, the richness I find in the decaying urban facades and streetscapes of Melbourne’s west. Stitch-by-stitch, in vibrant colour, I recreate these abandoned, fading or forgotten structures that are for me, objects of beauty.” You can view more of her work here. http://jessiedeane.com/thumb_IMG_1758_1024

The Great Stash Swap

The Great Stash Swap is a community driven project created to help reduce piles of excess materials and yarn stashes and bring fresh life to those teetering piles of stash we can so easily end up hoarding.

Over the week of 15-21 August people can drop in their unused material and yarn stashes and swap them for Crafty Bucks, which will be redeemable on Saturday the 22 and Sunday the 23 August for Stash!

Artists in Residence in The Stash!
The Great Stash Swap will also host craft artists every day in the gallery making items from the piles of stash.
The Great Stash Swap will be streamed on the web (www.sayraphimlothian.com/greatstashswap) so participants can watch the space evolve and the artists at work.
Drop your stash from 11am-8pm, Saturday 15 August to Friday 21 August.
The Great Stash Swap opens 10am Saturday 22 August and Sunday 23rd of August. Produced by Sayraphim Lothian

Gallery 314, Church Street, Richmond, VIC 3121 Australia
