The Ettalong Beach Arts and Craft Centre held a stall at the Kariong Community Fun Festival on Sunday, March 17, at the Kariong-Mountains High School.

Arts and Craft Centre member Mr Jim O'Mara demonstrated pastel painting while vice-president Ms Helen Robinson and newsletter editor Ms Merrill Stopps distributed brochures and responded to public queries about the Centre's classes and activities.

Members worked at a range of locations throughout the Festival.

Ms Carol Leitch ran the handmade craft stall, Ms Sue McCabe assisted with the Art Society exhibition and Ms Dorothy Mulholland told of the history of the Kariong Project.

The Centre also displayed work from the drawing and pastel class, the Stitchery's hospital projects, as well as pottery samples from Ms Sue Sullivan and samples from new patchwork and quilting tutor Ms Penny Howard.

A number of art students also entered the Art Society's exhibition and sale.
