Ferry Park Feature Artist of the Month for October is Joy Lee.

Joy describes her work and experience as “I was born and reared on the Lower Clarence. I live at Gulmarrad with my husband Peter and all my immediate family also live in the area. I have been sewing, crocheting and knitting from an early age. My mother taught me all the basics and I have continued learning and trying new ideas. My articles are all hand-made, I get inspiration for my designs from observations during my travels and from day-to-day conversations regarding people’s needs. This month I have my usual kitchen towels, neck pillows, scarves, bowl holders and more, and have reusable 100 % cotton face wipes and washers.”

With Christmas approaching it is an ideal time to visit the Gallery to stock up on Joy’s and other local artisans handcrafted goods.
