Gippsland Artists' Collective - Finding Foundry

Gippsland Artists' Collective

Finding Foundry

A curated mix of visual art, sculpture and ceramics inspired by Gippsland’s coastal life. Created by Foundry artists, this exhibition captures the textures, tones and forms that define our region — from salt air and shoreline light to the rhythms of making by hand.

Foundry is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run collective that has spent the past decade creating sustainable, meaningful opportunities for Gippsland artists. Everything presented here is made locally on Gunaikurnai land, showcasing the depth and diversity of creative talent across the region.

Bringing together illustration, painting, printmaking, jewellery, fine ceramics and small to large-scale sculpture, this is a snapshot of the contemporary practice shaping Gippsland today. A collection with one clear thread: every piece is crafted by an artist from our community — and you’re invited to step inside our worlds.

Featuring: Elisabeth Scott, Cindy Tong, CLeed, Jill Hermans, Deanne Howlett, Gavin Roberts, Pauline Crunden, Penny Gray, Wendy Reeve, Andrea Hall, Inge de Koster, Julia Trezise, Sam Thomas, Jes John.
