MAKE & CREATE: CERAMIC GARDEN BIRDS

If you’ve ever wanted to have a go at working with clay, this is your chance!

Join Ann-Maree Gentile at Stockyard Gallery and hand-build your very own unique ceramic garden bird. Using simple hand-building techniques, you’ll shape, decorate and create a colourful bird ready to brighten up your garden.

And who better to lead the workshop than Ann-Maree?

Ann-Maree is a bit of a South Gippsland powerhouse — one of those people who sees something that needs doing and somehow gets it done! From organising and bringing people together through the upcoming exhibition I Love South Gippsland, to helping make things happen in our community, she certainly knows how to get things moving.

Now she’s bringing her creativity to Stockyard Gallery with this fun, hands-on workshop over 2 sessions.

Monday 28 September, 10am–12 noon
Make and build your bird.

Monday 5 October, 9am
Finish and decorate your creation.

No experience needed — beginners and experienced makers are welcome.

All materials are provided. Just bring an apron and a cardboard box to take your clay bird home after the first session.

💛 Make & Create is proudly supported by Community Bank Toora and Foster, helping us provide affordable and accessible creative opportunities in our local community.

LOOK OUT FOR: I LOVE SOUTH GIPPY

Seven years ago, Ann-Maree Gentile moved to Foster, and last year she decided to bring an idea to life — an exhibition at Stockyard Gallery celebrating community, creativity and the connections made when you move to a new place.

Ann-Maree is a dynamic and driven artist with plenty of ideas, and she has brought together a wonderful group of creatives she has met across South Gippsland. Working in a diverse range of mediums and styles, their work captures the main character energy of South Gippsland — its flora, fauna, landscapes, places and people.

We’re looking forward to seeing this exciting exhibition come together!

If you love South Gippy like Ann-Maree does put this one in your diary.

📅 September 3–27
📍 Stockyard Gallery, Foster

I Love South Gippy — a celebration of the place, people and creativity that make this corner of the world so special.

Have you ever dreamed of exhibiting your artwork?

If you've been creating at home but have never taken the next step, we'd love to help.

At Stockyard Gallery, we enjoy supporting first-time exhibitors and making the process easy and enjoyable. We'll guide you through every stage—from planning your exhibition and hanging your artwork to designing your poster, banner and DL invitation cards. We'll even help you celebrate with a wonderful opening, complete with delicious platter and refreshments.

You don't need exhibition experience—just the desire to share your work.

💛 Please share this post. You might know someone creating beautiful art at home who simply needs a little encouragement to take that first step.

We'd love to hear from you.
