Venue: Buda Historic Home and Garden, 42 Hunter Street, Castlemaine

Contemporary jewellery by Gretchen Hillhouse Designs featuring finely crafted porcelain.

Sophistry: the art of clever and subtle but misleading reasoning is teasingly explored in this new body of contemporary jewellery featuring finely crafted porcelain, the signature material of this award-winning design practice. Playing with concepts of scale, illusion and artifice the work continues an investigation into representations of the contemporary feminine in all its guises and examines the subtle interplay of the urban and the organic.
