The Old School Art Collective is back again this year, reinvigorated with an eclectic fusion of artists and makers. From dream-like ceramics to beautiful functional homeware, there’s something to engage and inspire every taste and interest. Our collection comprises unique surreal ceramics; intricate mosaic portraiture; delicate detailed watercolours; wheel-thrown artisanal pottery; lustrous wood-turned bowls and quirky pyrography homeware. With the Tap Social bar and Fishes pub on hand, and plenty of other local exhibitors, why not make a day of it?

Each piece is created with attention to the unique tone and grain of the material.
