CRAFT VICTORIA

The Art of handmade

Founded in 1970, Craft Victoria is dedicated to supporting and celebrating contemporary Australian craft and design through exhibition and retail spaces, public programs and festivals.

Tara Lofhelm is a Melbourne based jeweller. Her most recent body of work explores the repetition of line, and the meditative effect conjured by this repetitive work. The pieces are hand stamped, blow by blow, and the shapes form as a reaction to the making process. This technique of hand embellishment ensures these each piece is entirely unique.
