Sturt Gallery at Mittagong, NSW, is holding an exhibition of the Sturt Permanent Collection entitled ‘Here by hand – 70 years at Sturt 1941-2011‘ to celebrate Sturt’s 70th birthday. It opens on Sunday 2 October at 11.00 am and will go through to 20 November. Les Blakebrough and Gwyn Hanssen Pigott will be speaking at the birthday lunch, as well as weaver Elizabeth Nagel and woodworker Alan Wale.
Formerly the Sturt Craft Centre, I see that Sturt has changed its name to Sturt: Australian Contemporary Craft & Design, presumably to reflect the new emphasis on design that can be seen across the Australian Craft and Design Centres (ACDC) network.
