Scenic Rim Open Studio Artists
This years’ feature artist is Vanessa Laverty. Vanessa is currently studying photography at Qld College of Art and already has one major exhibition under her belt her work is large scale, atmospheric and experimental, for those of you who like something a bit out of the box, this will be for you.
Deb Oberhart who is a very active community artist/potter/sculptor plays with fire all during the weekend with Raku firing and demonstrations. A dramatic and very exciting type of pottery is produced – its unpredictability in its results is the ultimate part of its charm.

Being a woman of many talents we will also have a display of her jewellery as well. Hand made and individual pieces incorporating bone pewter, beads and resin.
