SUMMARY:Wild Things Exhibition and Gallery Shop 2026
DESCRIPTION:WILD THINGS 2026 — Exhibition and Gallery Shop \n25 November – 6 December 2026 \nAdd quality handmade local art to your gift list! \nBrisbane’s favourite local textile artists Sharyn Hall and Wendy Bailye return with their much-loved annual collaboration — their 18th WILD THINGS Exhibition\, showcasing an inspiring blend of contemporary textile art\, fine design\, and exquisite handmade pieces. \nImmerse yourself in the colour\, texture and richness of this distinctive exhibition.\nWILD THINGS celebrates the tactile beauty of natural materials through collectible artworks\, hand-crafted jewellery\, wearable art\, homewares\, and unique gifts — all ready to take home. \nEach artist brings her own mastery and material passion: \n\nSharyn\, a Churchill Fellow\, and accomplished designer\, creates sophisticated fabric surface designs\, mixed media and paper works\, and beautifully hand-crafted silver jewellery. Sharyn’s focus this year has been on her collection of ethnically sourced textiles\, with her creative\, original embellished surface design additions. Her yearlong drawing-a-day challenge produced a series of 48 pop-up/out books containing 365 cards\, referencing her love of flowers and foliage\, and these will be on display.\n\n\nWendy\, Samford’s very own feltmaker and textile artist\, will showcase stunning archival prints of her felt panels and textile work featuring local Samford birdlife — photographed and printed in Samford as well as new felted work and some gorgeous new quirky ceramics.\nWe will also have a significant collection of new and second-hand textile\, art and display stock as we downsize our studio’s.\n\nExpect priceless individuality\, bold creativity\, and the unmistakable handmade signature of two of Brisbane’s most respected textile artists. \nSee it\, love it\, take it home. \nEvent: Wild Things Exhibition and Gallery Shop \nTimes:  25th November – 6th December      10am–4pm daily\nLocation: Richard Randall Art Studio\, Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens \nwww.sharynhalldesigns.com      www.wendybailye.com \nWhy do we hold our Wild Things Exhibition each year? \nPeople often ask both Sharyn and Wendy\, this question. \nEach year we look forward to presenting Wild Things\, our collaborative exhibition. It has become an important part of our creative calendar and an opportunity to celebrate not only finished artworks but also the joy of making\, experimenting and sharing creativity with others. \nWild Things grew from a shared love of materials\, process and exploration. While Sharyn and I work in different mediums\, we are both fascinated by texture\, surface\, colour and the endless possibilities that emerge when curiosity and experimentation leads the way. Bringing our work together each year creates a conversation between our practices and offers visitors a rich and varied visual experience. \nThis year’s exhibition features a collection of new work developed over many months of creating\, testing ideas\, solving problems and following unexpected pathways. Visitors will discover textiles\, ceramics\, mixed media\, paper works and other creative explorations that reflect our individual artistic journeys while complementing one another. \nOne of the things we love most about exhibiting in this way is the opportunity to connect directly with visitors. Conversations often move beyond the finished artwork to the stories\, inspirations and processes behind each piece. There is something special about sharing not only what we make\, but how and why we make it. \nFor many people\, exhibitions like Wild Things provide more than an opportunity to view artwork. They can be a reminder that creativity belongs to everyone. Seeing the results of experimentation\, persistence and play often encourages others to reconnect with their own creative interests and possibilities. \nWild Things is also a celebration of friendship\, creative community and the value of continuing to make and explore\, regardless of where we are on our artistic journey. Each year the exhibition evolves\, bringing new discoveries and fresh perspectives for both artists and visitors alike. \nWe look forward to welcoming visitors to Wild Things\, sharing conversations about creativity and process\, and celebrating another year of making\, exploring and embracing the wonderfully wild nature of artistic practice.
