Materialized

Thank you to the 30 talented craftspeople that shared your gorgeous work in our show Materialized.

Welcome 2014!

We are happy to welcome in a brand New Year at Gleaners Inc. We have lots planned.
Our first exhibition will be in March as a part of the Melbourne Fashion Festival Cultural Program.
The show is titled "Materialized" and will follow on from the very successful "A Piece of Cloth" exhibition held last year.

Artists, designers and crafters are still invited to get a fabric swatch and create a work for the show. Details here.

We are Dreaming of a Pink and Purple Christmas!

We are embracing all that is pink and puce this Christmas at Gleaners Inc.

 The window is full of  mini pink and purple trees made by Jess from RMIT 

 Babs is also getting into the Christmas Spirit. Don't be alarmed, she is quite 'armless!

We are open right up untill Christmas Eve for those last minute gifts. 

*Compliments of the Season to one and all*

2014 Ahoy!

Well what do you know! We are planning things for NEXT YEAR at Gleaners Inc. 

A wee while ago I didn't think there was going to be a next year due to landlordy stuff/family stuff. But there you go, we are still kicking and loving our always growing Gleaners Inc. community.

Right now we are gearing up for Christmas and looking forward to setting up a beautiful stall full of Gleaners Inc. goodies at Markit at Fed. Square on Sunday 24th November. This market is not to be missed! 

See you there xxxxx

My Mexican Maracas!

 Cute Mini Maracas brooches are now available at the "My Mexican Donkey" Pop Up Shop. Both Julianne from Sister Outlaws and I pulled out our best Calypso inspired shirts to model these cuties. Nearly tempted to crack out the Harry Belafonte and get a conga line happening!

Other colourful Mexicali goodies are available like intricate hand painted ceramic candle sticks,milagro medals and mini sombrero brooches, not to mention the popular sugar skull kits and Betty Jo brooches! 

Dia De Los Muertos at Gleaners Inc.

 As part of our pop up shop we have a little dia de los muertos alter with colourful Mexican ceramics and collectibles.

And yes, there are sugar skulls galore....

.... we are especially loving these festive paper skull banners!

"My Mexican Donkey" Pop Up Shop

All throughout November Gleaners will be hosting  "My Mexican Donkey", a Mexican themed pop up shop presented by the Sister Outlaws and re-sew-cool. 

We will be selling Mexican gifts and home decor like these beautiful paper banners.

We will  also be celebrating Mexican Day of the Dead so there will be an alter and sugar skulls galore!

See you there amigos!
