Within the four walls of number Shop 5, 19 Pier Street, Dromana, magic happens every day.
Several women, all very strong in their own right, work alongside each other, very rarely butting heads, to create what is Peninsula Art Supplies and Textile Artistry which is located on the Mornington Peninsula, about 70 kilometres south of the Melbourne CBD in Victoria, Australia.
Come in and see us one day. Scratch beneath the surface just a little and you never know what you might find.
Catherine is the proprietor of the shop. She doesn’t work in the shop on a set day but usually makes an appearance most days throughout the week. Cath loves textiles and is a fabulous knitter and sewer. Her embroidery work is stunning – look out for her knots, they are very meditative you know!
There are a number of us helping in the store across different days with expertise in various fields such as textile artistry, doll sculpture, knitting, quiltmaking, altered books and other media.
All of these wonderful women are incredibly talented and brimming with information which they happily share with other like-minded people. If you are in the area, come visit us down by the bay and we can try to assist you with any projects you are working on or simply feel welcome to drop in and browse.
So that’s us. A little community within four walls of a shop. Please come and see us if you live locally. You can also visit us online at our website.
