Meet Olga, a Perth-based photographer, graphic designer and maker creating handmade textile works from 100% New Zealand wool.

Driven by an ongoing exploration of form, colour and composition, Olga’s work brings together bold graphic sensibilities with the warmth and tactility of hand-making.

Her practice speaks closely to the ethos of our upcoming exhibition Assembly bringing together independent makers, materials, processes and ideas, while celebrating the individuality behind each object.

We’re excited to introduce Olga to the Gaffa community as part of this year’s Assembly program.

Stay tuned - more makers, practices, workshops and events to come. 💫

What sustains a contemporary jewellery practice? What ideas linger at the workbench long after the tools are put down?

Our latest Crafted Stories feature takes us to Tasmania’s State of Flux Workshop - a collaborative workshop, gallery and retail space nestled within the Salamanca Arts Centre precinct in nipaluna/Hobart. More than a studio, State of Flux has become a vital hub for contemporary jewellery and object-making, fostering connection, dialogue and exchange across local and international creative communities.

We sat down with collective members Trudi Brinckman, Anna Weber, Jane Hodgetts, Gabbee Stolp and Emma Bugg to discuss the influences, materials and questions that continue to shape their practices.

Follow the link in our bio to explore the full story and discover why spaces like State of Flux remain essential to the cultural ecosystems that support contemporary craft.
