How great thou art

l MOSSMAN

LAST week locals and visitors to the Douglas Shire were invited to an exciting social and cultural event in Mossman.

A collaboration of artists and artisans came together to stage a week-long exhibition of contemporary paintings, limited edition prints, locals’ pottery and artistic woodworks.

The event provided an opportunity to maybe find a small painting for that empty wall space, a unique pottery piece or even a showcase creation in rare and exotic timber.

Alternatively, the display provided the chance to get some ideas for people’s own art projects.

I caught up with locally renowned wood turner Gerald Steen who was demonstrating his unique timber skills at the exhibition.
