Artisans Nest is an artist-run Gallery in Bodalla which offers a welcoming atmosphere to anyone interested in high quality locally produced textiles, arts and crafts.

Artisans Nest has 13 members. New artists regularly join the group. They bring new techniques and styles to add to those already displayed.

Plant-dyed silk, hats, felted art pieces and garments, knitted tops, mosaics, classy leather handbags, clothing made from all manner of upcycled material, and jewellery are just some of the crafts that are bound to delight the eye of the visitor.

The ‘Nest’ offers fantastic one-off garments, from beautiful toddlers’ dresses to very sophisticated felted and silk garments. Many people will remember the coloured woollen blankets of the 60s and 70s. Here you will find them made into wonderful, upcycled tops and other interesting items.

The jewellery is unique. It comes in all shapes and sizes, from very inexpensive, quirky brooches to more sophisticated gemstones pieces, necklaces made from vintage buttons or little earrings made from a variety of unusual colourful leather.

Regular visitors already know that the ‘Nest’ is a go-to place for a unique gift. An artist is on hand each day to show you around. The gallery aims to be open seven days a week from 10 am in the main street of Bodalla on the NSW south coast. Currently closed most Tuesdays and Wednesdays but please check Facebook posts for current hours. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

And, if you are a local creative artist, would you like to join this like-minded group of people and sell your creations in Bodalla? Please contact Jenny Brosch at jennyrose@antmail.com.au
