Silver Wattle Artists Gathering 2026
After reflecting on our gatherings since 2015 we are seeking to sink deeply down to spirit that connects us to all living things and our creativity. Connect with the rhythm of the Universe… grounded and present listening for the presence of Spirit. Trust and explore the experience of Spirit, connection to the sacred land and our individual creativity. Sink into the silence and peace of Silver Wattle at Weereewaa and be.
Explore each day …allowing time to see what arises within.
No plan, no direction, free to just be.
Bring your creative work that you wish to complete or start, as well as any quotes, poems, books that speak to your condition. We will explore in small groups our spirituality and creativity.
Our Artists;
Barbara Huntington is a textile artist living at Fishermans Reach NSW on the banks of Macleay River on Dunghutti land. She is inspired by her environment, using natural dyes, slow embroidery and weaving to reflect her surroundings. She is a Quaker, inspired by poetry, her relationship to the environment and the Buddhist understanding that we are all connected.
Brenda Roy is a Quaker, gratefully living in Perth, on Whadjuk, Noongar, land. She is a spinner, weaver and natural dyer who finds delight in the colours and textures of the world around her. She follows an Earth Path spirituality, seeing the Spirit in all beings and believes in the power of making clothing and everyday objects which carry sacred intent.
Jen Newton lives on the land of the Muwinina people, the original custodians of Nipaluna, (Hobart). A tribe that did not survive the genocide in Tasmania. She is a convinced Quaker and believes that her creativeness is part of her spiritual practice. Inspired by the natural environment, she explores textiles, mixed media, wearable art, photography, basketry, natural dyeing, recycled materials for sculptural pieces and in 2025 immersed herself in ceramics.
