Last week we checked the opening of Emma van Leest's Sydney show at the Olsen Irwin Gallery. We did a collaboration with Emma in 2011 with a series of intricate stainless steel jewellery featuring her scenes of adventures (think high seas and foreign lands) and exotica (think dodos and pineapples). Emma's latest exhibition of paper cuts are nothing short of amazing with some works having three layers of papercuts mounted to create depth and layered complexity. How one person can dream, design and skillfully handcut these artworks is incredible, how she can do all of this with a baby under 1 year old is truely inspiring.

Space has become available to rent in our sunny Sydney studio and we’re looking for someone fantastic to share it with! Starkey’s is a converted ginger beer factory close to Newtown, Camperdown and Annandale.

 

The two storey studio feels like a little oasis in a busy, central urban area – it finds warmth from natural light and reclaimed timbers and has a leafy outlook with good cross ventilation. You can choose the lower level with polished concrete floors or the upper level with reclaimed timber floor boards. We’d share quality finishes, open planned layout, air con, full amenities, communal courtyard with café, untimed street parking, proximity to public transport and the odd cup of tea. Yep, it’s pretty perfect and you get Polli as your neighbours. Ideal for creatives of any discipline. If you know anyone interested in renting 10-50sqm alongside the Polli team please email info@polli.com.au or call 9557 8180

 

Our sweet Polli Flower Presses have had such an amazing response from the press this past week with New Idea creating their own flower pressed cards and Home Beautiful suggesting box frames for your finished pressings. x

If you're inner west based come check out out Bower Bird window at Pentimento.
