All pieces will be for sale and it’s a great chance to pick yourself up an original artwork for your home or as a special gift – including paintings, photography and sculptures.

“In Their Hands” is also an opportunity to discover the wonderful resource and hub that is Carindale’s Sustainability Centre, run by the amazing team (most of who are volunteers) at B4C (the Bulimba Creek Catchment Coordinating Committee).

80% of the funds from artworks sold go to the artist and 20% goes to the Bulimba Creek Catchment Environment Fund.

Upcycling Show and Tell | 9.30am. Flyer for this session (PDF)
Jane Milburn of Textile Beat (and as heard on 612 ABC Brisbane) will provide an overview of environmental, ethical and social implications of so-called ‘fast fashion’. She’ll showcase some of the upcycled garments created during the 365-day Sew it Again campaign to demonstrate ways we can reduce our fashion footprint. Tips for dressing with conscience, without sewing. Bring along a few garments and we can chat about their upcycling potential.

Art and environmental inspirations | 10.30am.
