Welcome.

Are you looking for a unique artwork or decorative object that is just the right fit for your home, that showcases your personality or interest?

Iluka is a small town on the Clarence River with an exceptional depth of artistic talent. And, what stands us apart from the rest?

 

The gallery and store is run by the Artisans themselves, not a gallery owner. We know the art, the techniques and the local area.

Jenni Carey Returns in February 2025 

Jenni has decided to stay in Iluka for another month! Lucky for us her work is on display until end of February.  Says her third love after her husband and her dogs is crocheting.   She learned Knitting and Crocheting as a child and describes it as a passion.  She often has 3 projects on the go simultaneously.

Jenni collects beautiful yarns from all around the world, incorporating them into her creations.   For this exhibition she has on display Mermaid Bags, made from Turkish braided cotton.   They are delightful to look at and practical to use when out for a day on the beach.  

Please wander in during January and take a look at these artisan created items. 

 

Feature Artist February 2025

Christopher Damien Soful Thorne

"A collection of life's wonders, secrets and Truths"

​Our Feature Artist for February 2025 is the talented Christopher Damien Soful Thorne from Brisbane..

What a stunning display of color, of thoughtful images showing life, our planet and relationship with it. Chris is a

Self taught artist who grew up in Redlands and Logan in Queensland.   He uses mixed media to explore life and its
many stories through a range of perspectives and styles.
Chris says " I pull inspiration from life; it’s challenges, it’s beauty, it’s frailty, it’s transformations, it’s wonders,
it’s secrets and truths.
I explore these inspiring states through working with the land, with community, training martial
arts and creating art with my heart, hands and time.

My full range of works include pencils, pastels, paint, charcoal, ink, found natural
objects/materials, building materials and more."

Please come along and visit the Iluka Emporium during February to see the fascinating works of Christopher.  See more of his work on Facebook The Journeyman Crafts.
