to ask them questions along the way.

Creative Networking Night :: Hamilton Ward
As part of the 2012 Racecourse Road Carnival
Rebecca Cason – edward and lilly
Rebecca is a
Brisbane girl with a passion for hand made things. She taught herself to sew by watching on line
video tutorials and now she produces a range of eco friendly, organic jewellery
and home wares. Her particular passion is embroidery, that art of detailed
stitching on fabric. Rebecca co-ordinates the Brisbane Brown
Owls who meet monthly and learn different crafts, sip tea and share know how.
Embroidery is Rebecca’s way of relaxing, it is her kind of yoga.

Steph Morris - Wimcee
Steph is an accomplished painter who also sews, knits, pastes, hoards, beads, constructs fabric art. She
combines vibrant colour and whimsy, creating soft furnishings, little people’s
clothes and fashion accessories. Steph is a regular on the Brisbane Market scene and regularly exhibits her work locally and nationally. www.wimcee.com
Freda Bosgra - Raw Ceramics
Freda’s ceramic
jewellery collection is inspired by the beauty in simple shapes, found objects
and natural forms. Her work is influenced by the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi,
the beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and humble. Each pendant is
designed and hand-crafted - first by rolling out the clay, hand pressing
designs, glazing and then creating the final pendant. The process of transforming a humble block of clay
into wearable art that lasts a lifetime is very rewarding. Handmade means quality and a whole lot of love. www.rawceramics.com
Dawn Conn - Ruby and Iris
Dawn creates Art and Sculpture from found, recycled
or vintage materials. Each
sculpture has a uniqueness, giving its own character, that is celebrated. “I
believe in creating sculpture that has authenticity, inventiveness, humour,
beauty, playfulness and meaning.” Dawn www.rubyandiris.com.au

Judie Bellingham - Sisters of Stitch
Judie
saw a need to bring people together to share their craft skills and talk over a
cup of coffee and something home baked as well. Sisters of Stitch started three
years ago and they meet twice a month at the Chermside Library. “We don’t hold classes as such, but
if any member wants to learn a particular skill, we never have a shortage of
experienced crafters who are willing to help.” Judie has been quilting for decades
and describes her craft this way: “I buy
perfectly good fabric, cut it into little pieces and then painstakingly sew it
back together again, to make a quilt.”
