The handmade touch of Little Treasures

I hope you have finished your Christmas shopping by now.

But if you haven’t, join Pepper Street Arts Centre for the return of the local artist exhibition ‘Little Treasures for Christmas’ running until 21 December 2023.

Featuring the works of over 60 artists this exhibition is a much-loved Christmas special covering a variety of mediums including handcrafted jewellery, collage, textile, paintings, wearable art, woodwork, sculptures and much more – all stunning works at affordable prices, perfect for the last-minute gift.

A staple of Pepper Street Arts Centre for over 20 years, this exhibition is the only ‘cash and carry’ show of the year and always delights with an abundance of colour.

Coordinator of Pepper Street Arts Centre Sally Patterson said Little Treasures for Christmas is a flagship exhibition for the centre and never fails to draw in a dedicated fanbase.

‘This event is marked on the calendar every year by visitors,’ Sally said.

Artist and Pepper Street Arts Centre volunteer Annie Reid who described the exhibition as ‘awe and wonder’ will this year be featuring in her fourth Little Treasures for Christmas exhibition with her signature Japanese-inspired temari balls and digital graphic cards, and said the exhibition was a great way to find something special.

‘It’s a basic celebration of Christmas and an opportunity for people to collect treasures,’ Annie said.

‘It doesn’t have the rarified look of a normal exhibition; it can be an overwhelming jumble of colour and warmth. It has a different vibe.’
