NOW SHOWING | Lean In
The exhibition brings together new work by three of Australia’s most celebrated contemporary jewellers: Laura Deakin, Dr Marian Hosking and Dr Blanche Tilden.
A rare opportunity to collect new works made by each artist, and works made through sustained collaboration between the three. The extensive body of work is the result of time spent working side-by-side, leaning into each others practices, and experimenting across studios.
Craft is thrilled to share this invitation to enter the dialogue between three exceptional artists, in Lean In.
Visit the gallery to encounter the works up close.

Friday Watch | Discover the beading practice of Camille Laddawan / ลัดดาวัลย์.
Camille’s practice is slow and distinctive. She translates English language and Western music notation into beadwork, using each bead to represent a letter or musical note within a carefully structured composition.
Seen here, Camille’s work ‘Acedia’ is now available to collect at Craft, online and in the gallery.
Hand-loom woven over hours, the work’s surface forms a dense, silvery-grey field of sterling silver-plated and glass beads.

In Camp Stove, Djaara, Yorta Yorta, Wemba Wemba and Gunai/ Kurnai multi-media artist ENOKi presents a tattooed kangaroo skin cloak and leather harness.
‘Possum skin cloaks would traditionally depict an Indigenous person’s achievements and life. For this work, I’ve used kangaroo hides and tattooing to create a cloak and a harness. The work speaks to the idea of adornment, and unifies both
traditional and modern-day styles.’ – ENOKi
Now showing in Camp Stove, the sixth annual First Peoples-led Exhibition, curated by Kate ten Buuren.
