Art show held at Wagstaffe

The Wagstaffe Art Show, Fresh Collections, will be held on the weekend of October 1 and 2 at Wagstaffe Hall from 10am to 4pm.

"Stylish and fashionable wearable art created by Cherry Steele will be just one of the highlights of a vibrant and exciting exhibition of contemporary art by Central Coast artists at Wagstaffe during the October long weekend," said art convener Ms Jean Scott.

Ms Steele of Gosford, will treat visitors to demonstrations of her nuno felting techniques each day of the exhibition at 2pm, as well as displaying a range of her work.

Ms Steele's talks will be followed by Avoca artist Ms Margaret Fortey who will discuss how she creates landscape paintings on silk, and Felicity O'Connor of Avoca who will explain the trials and tribulations of an abstract painter.

Complementing the colour and diversity of the Fresh Collections exhibition will be works by award-winning colourist Sheila White from Matchum, Barbara Aubrey of Kincumber and Denny Hoffman and Jean Scott, both of Killcare.
