The annual Ettalong Beach Arts and Crafts Centre (EBACC) exhibition and sale is set to be held for the first time since 2019 on October 29 and 30, following a COVID induced hiatus.
The event will be held at The Peninsula Community Centre (on the corner of Ocean Beach Rd and McMasters Rd, Woy Woy) from 10am-4pm on Saturday, October 29, and 10am-3pm on Sunday, October 30.
The talented local artisans who attend EBACC will be displaying and selling a wide selection of unique handmade items including paintings, pottery, jewellery, silvercraft items, quilts and textile items.
It will be a great opportunity to start buying Christmas gifts that you won’t find anywhere else – or simply to enjoy appreciating the talents of others.
EBACC member, Penny Howard, said tutors and members were very excited to be able to hold their annual exhibition this year, after it was put on hold in 2020 and 2021.
“As you’d imagine, our creativity didn’t stop during lock downs, but became a necessary, sanity saving outlet for a lot of us,” she said.
“We all kept painting, drawing, sewing, potting, making jewellery and building up a sizeable stock of wonderful creations which will be available for great prices at our exhibition.”
The popular Riley’s Café will make a return, with home-made savory/sweet treats, tea and coffee, along with snacks suitable for those who are gluten intolerant and/or vegetarian, with credit card payments accepted.
