Box Hill Graduate exhibition

Today a friend and I went to Eckersley's to see the graduate exhibition for the textile students from Box Hill Institute, it is in a lovely gallery space at the back of the shop.  We managed to rush past all the wonderful artist supplies and only look at the exhibition.
It is wonderful!!  There is a great range of ideas and techniques.  It was inspiring to see all the talent and technical skills come together.  Congratulations to all concerned.
Unfortunately is finishes on Saturday, so you will have to hurry if you want to see it.
There was one series entitled Bark, by Robyn Bayliss, that especially appealed to me (if you know me you will know I have been working from photos of bark all year).
My obsession with bark aside, there was a wonderful array of work to look at and drool over.

Graduation exhibition, Centre for Creative Industries, Textile Arts

Tonight I was able to attend the opening of the graduation exhibition for the diploma of Textile Arts students from Box Hill Institute.  It was held at the Manningham Gallery, a wonderful venue.
There were 10 students exhibiting and their work was very interesting.  The range of styles was great and the standard was high.  Quite different ways of working, different techniques, making it very engaging.

I know my friend has enjoyed the course greatly and feels as if she has learnt a lot over the three years.  Congratulations to the students and teachers on a very professional show.
