    Hunter Arts Network Art Bazaar Sunday 27 November 2022

    My next stall will be at Hunter Arts Network Art Bazaar at Lambton Park on Sunday 27 November 2022. This is where I will have my paintings for sale. To view my original works visit https://kasarndesigns.com/artwork-for-sale/

    Art Bazaar has been held every year since 2002!! When Art Bazaar began back in 2002 it was originally held in Laman Street. Art Bazaar started with an idea from Newcastle City Council and this is how Hunter Arts Network was formed. Twenty years ago Art Bazaar began to develop a loyal following and fan base. HAN is run by a dedicated committee of volunteers who have also worked hard to celebrate all modalities of visual arts and the committee that has come together continues to do an amazing job to make this happen.

    Stallholders are selected based on the originality and quality of their wares – so there’s plenty to capture your imagination. Bring the family or meet up with friends to wander the stalls to find unique gifts or treat for yourself, and meet the local Hunter makers and artists.

    After what has been some patchy Covid years by purchasing direct from the makers you’ll be supporting their hand made work and you get to take home a one-of-a kind treasure

    All stallholders are members of Hunter Arts Network. The event showcases their unique, handmade artisan goods including a wide variety of carefully selected stalls featuring premium local artisan handmade products. Art Bazaar has cemented it’s reputation since 2002 as the event that showcases the Hunter’s creative & vibrant art community that locals & visitors look forward to several times every year. Food trucks, coffee and entertainment is also on offer.

    Stay tuned for our first 2023 date – Sunday 26 March 2023 at Lambton Park

    Today’s Hunter Arts Network Art Bazaar at Lambton Park was a huge success!

    Thank you to everyone who attended Hunter Arts Network Art Bazaar today at Lambton Park and supported our local artists and artisans – we had such a huge line up of incredible makers. We were thrilled to see our second 2022 Art Bazaar attract such a great turnout. Although the day started off soggy underfoot we were very lucky to end up with a day filled with lots of lovely sunshine giving us and the huge crowd a pearler of a day and I sold my “Tacking Point Lighthouse” painting

    Here’s some photos from today:

    There are four works in this series. I re-purposed two stretched canvases by removing them from their stretcher frames, then I undercoated them with paint, stitched both canvases together, sewed a different and unique pattern-image on each canvas, then more painting to finish.

    So pleased with how this series turned out – there’s four all up and this circles piece made me dizzy on the sewing machine going around in circles. I re-purposed two canvases by undercoating them, sewing them together, sewing the patterns then more painting to finish.
