toby-eagle-webtile-new.jpg

Toby Eagle Jewellery

I handcraft and custom designed each piece of Toby Eagle jewellery primarily from reclaimed sterling silver, gold and other high quality materials because of the hands on nature and traditional processes used this means that each piece is uniquely different. I make both women’s and men’s jewellery and draw inspiration from the organic forms found on the coastline of the Northern Beaches.

maimai-webtile-new.jpg

Maimai Glass

I use various techniques for glass art including glassblowing and flame working.

One of the main features of my glass art is that glass changes colours by absorbing or reflecting lights, especially jewellery made of silver glass, which shows more colour changes as if the glass is “alive”. My artwork is inspired by nature that she comes across in her daily life such as flowers in a park or sea animals

watersedge-webtile-new.jpg

Waters Edge Sea Glass

I work with sea glass collected from local beaches to create unique, environmentally friendly jewellery. Sea glass comes from shards of discarded bottles that have been conditioned and weathered from years of tumbling in the sea and sand. Some pieces glass can be over 200 years old, each individual piece having its own history and beauty.

becky-williams-webtile-new.jpg

Becky Williams Textiles

All cloth is prepared using a variety of shibori techniques, to create different patterns the fabric is folded, twisted, and bound using thread, clamps & resist shapes. The prepared fabric is dyed in the indigo vat for various lengths of time to develop different depths of indigo blue. Next every item is hand washed repeatedly to remove all the dye, and left to soak in fabric conditioner to soften. Finally the cloth hung out to dry before being ironed & ready to sell. The small felt vessels are wet 3D hand felted and embellished with embroidery stitch details.

cameron-ingle-webtile-new.jpg

Cameron Ingle

My art is inspired by the ocean and made for the ocean. I designed each vase on CAD software and 3D printed them with fully recycled filament. This plastic came all the way from the Netherlands, and is derived from recycled PET bottles and PLA packaging, making use of wasted plastic and turning it into something functional and beautiful. The plastic water bottles are collected, washed, shredded, melted down into pellets and converted into filament, which can be used for printing. 3D printing is a great medium to create both functional and aesthetic models whilst giving wasted plastic bottles new purpose. I have an ocean series based on waves and corals.

Since the early 2000's, coffee pods have steadily taken the world by storm, we began to realise this new addiction was doing more damage than good to our planet.
