Showcase of arts and crafts

St John’s Anglican Church Horsham congregation members are busy preparing for a Hobbies, Craft and Collectables Exhibition on October 20.

Fundraising committee member Shirley Kerr said the exhibition, in St Andrew’s Uniting Church Hall from 10am to 4pm, would feature more than 20 creative and talented art and craftspeople.

“The list of exhibitors includes award-winning quilter Vicki Jenkin, local artist and illustrator Shane Boland, Jenny Hill from Wartook Views showcasing her dolls and miniature furniture and ceramic jewellery maker Kara Gough,” she said.

Cooking demonstrations, gardening consultations, needlework and papercraft lessons will be among the day’s highlights, along with exhibitor talks about their hobbies. A produce stall will sell baked goods, preserves and seasonal fruit and vegetables.

“Attendees will be well catered for with morning and afternoon tea served throughout the day and a sausage sizzle at noon,” Mrs Kerr said.

“We have endeavoured to appeal to all age groups in this exhibition and extend a warm welcome to everyone.”
