The Adorned Collective
The Adorned Collective was formed in 2015 as a participant-driven initiative that supports artists, artisans, makers and craftspeople of all ages and abilities from culturally diverse backgrounds and experiences. Since 2015 The Adorned Collective has developed and exhibited solo and collaborative sculptures, wearable art, and photographic, performance, installation and multimedia work. Recent exhibitions and community engagements include Adorned at Liverpool City Library 2021; Common Exchange at Mundubbera Regional Gallery 2020; All of Us at Blindside, Melbourne 2018; New Sacred at Mosman Art Gallery 2018; Adorned: Wisdom, Memory and Song, 2017 and Adorned, Women of Western Sydney 2015, both as part of the Parramasala Festival, Riverside Theatre Parramatta.
Creative Mending is a drop-in workshop facilitated by Tthe Adorned Collective in collaboration with Nannas Haberdashery. Participants will engage in a creative mending experience using textile and craft materials purchased from the haberdashery store. Through skill-sharing and collaboration, the Adorned artists will support a process of experimental play with materials to repair, transform, repurpose and embellish second-hand items. The Adorned Collective is supported by Parramatta Artists’ Studios.
Adorned is a creative social space for all abilities, where people connect through sharing creative practice.
