EVENTS
MAKE A CONNECTION WITH US IN NOVEMBER
In this time of mass production, fast fashion and global availability it is more important than ever that we take the time to stop, take a breath and appreciate the small conversations or moments which make our lives more whole. Take the time to also consider the things which can enrich your life in the long term.
The final Open Studio Event for the Pittwater Artists Trail in 2023 happens on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 November at studios across the Pittwater area and we here at Silver Plus Studio invite you to join us in our working environment. We plan to share the process and intricacies of creating our unique pieces, and the narratives behind the work. More often than not when hearing these narratives it can evoke a memory for you the visitor, and it is that shared narrative which can only happen through meeting the artist themselves. This is why taking the time to visit the trail is so rewarding – plus you may walk away with a new treasure for your collection or a very special gift for a loved one.
The Pittwater Artists Trail includes the work of 21 artists and craftspeople featured at 16 studios from Palm Beach to Collaroy and Terry Hills. Find a brochure in public libraries and council facilities across the peninsula, art suppliers and many other venues. Or text 0405 561718 to request a brochure.

Member Success at Contemporary Wearables Biennial Jewellery Award and Exhibition '23
Members Christine Sadler and Susan Peacock are finalists in the 'Contemporary Wearables Biennial Jewellery Award and Exhibition' currently on display at Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery until 22 October. The award is a highlight in the calendar of many of Australia’s leading contemporary jewellers and object practitioners. The exhibition showcases the current trends of makers and celebrates the innovation and craftmanship of artists. This year’s Award was juried by Christian Hall, Cassandra Lehman and Emily McCulloch Childs and judged by Chloë Powell.
Christine and Susan’s practices are frequently complementary. They both reinterpret and distil nature’s diverse forms, textures and imperfections. Their collaborative series of brooches, 'RESPIRE – Melaleuca ericifolia (swamp paperbark)', addresses the significance of paperbark forests. They stated , "Technically speaking these pieces explore possibilities within metalwork and embroidery, and how these artforms can intersect. Thematically, the pieces address redemption of natural environments. Paperbark forests clean and prime water before it reaches our beaches and underground aquifers. Long degraded and ignored, they are now understood to be integral to the complex system of coexistence in wetland environments. The soft, papery bark layers, which are around 90% air space, allow the tree to ‘breathe’ when its roots are submerged, thus introducing oxygen into the substrate, an essential component of wastewater treatment.
