Kilcoy’s two new art expos
Kilcoy Art Society Inc (KASI) has two displays for July’s Artist of the Month (AOM).
Firstly, a collection of beautiful pottery pieces by Deborah Dawkings of Coal Creek Pottery will be exhibited on plinths in the centre of the main gallery.
This collection titled “Of the Earth” gathers work she has created overtime.
Deborah is a proud Bundjalung and Yeagl woman and is inspired by the countryside and the colours of Coal Creek, which she connects with country to create.
Even though each of her pieces has an earthy, or perhaps even sculptural feel, they also have a practical purpose.
Her glaze collection, developed and tested on site, feature the colours of Coal Creek; if the glaze colour cannot be seen over the rolling hills of Coal Creek it does not get a start.
Deborah also runs popular pottery classes and workshops at her Coal Creek Studio.
Secondly, KASI is exhibiting the paintings of a recent ‘Sip and Paint’ fundraising event, titled ‘Herd about our Sip and Paint?’.
The topic chosen to paint at the event was a quirky cow, so they are showing off a herd of cows on the AOM wall for July.
All proceeds raised on the day have been donated to local Rural Fire Brigade services.
Visit the Kilcoy Courthouse Art Gallery during July to see these two wonderful exhibitions.
