Wallace House wraps up for Christmas

The tables and shelves that were stacked with artworks created by members of Noosa Arts and Crafts 10 days earlier were stripped almost bare during their annual Christmas market.

“It’s been very good,” members said of the market that ended on Sunday, just prior to the group’s festive break beginning on 10 December before members and visitors return on 3 January to continue practicing and teaching the art and crafts they love.

It’s been 10 years since Janelle Turley left her career in hairdressing to immerse herself in a variety of arts and crafts, including crochet which she teaches weekly at Wallace House.

Only a year ago, Sally Heron took up her unique style of fibre art that she uses to create one-off items including bags while Sue Hayllar uses knitting, smocking and embroidery to create fine art items.

Boomerang Bags proved just as popular as they have been since the organisation was established to replace plastic use across Noosa.

More of the bags will be available this Saturday at their stall at Tewantin’s 150th birthday celebrations.
