“100 mini ceramic bowls were hand-painted by members of our local community at my studio during The Gap Creative Arts Trail in October 2025.

They were then kiln fired and proudly displayed at The Gap Village Shopping Centre for the community to view.

This display was a lovely reminder of the charm and authenticity of handmade as well as reflecting the strong, supportive community spirit we have in The Gap, Brisbane.

For those who could not see the display in person, check out the video below.

I would like to thank everyone who participated in this project and took the time to paint a bowl with me and contribute to this project.”
