An extravaganza of music and art complimented the crafty cosies last weekend, as the Fish Creek Tea Cosy festival was opened to huge crowds, enjoying the late autumn sun on Saturday and braving the more typical, rainy South Gippsland climate on Sunday.
Meanwhile, art lovers gathered on Friday evening to celebrate the opening of the it’s (no) drama Dreamweaver installation and art cube, with the collective collaborating with local artists Sarah Parkes and Michael Shirrefs. Fellow Fish Creek artist Isabel Whyte was busy all weekend at her lantern workshops, in anticipation of next weekend’s special lantern parade at 4.30pm on Saturday 23 May, which will culminate in the burning of Andy and MacGregor’s tea pot sculpture at the Ride the Wild Goat Sculpture Garden.
The Sculpture Garden bonfires are always a good time. If you haven’t had a chance to get to one of these (usually midsummer and midwinter) community celebrations, feel the fiery tea cosy spirit ignite your soul, and join the fun from 5.30pm at 5 Falls Creek Road, Fish Creek.
