✨ What a weekend at The Little Red Cottage!
Our hearts (and cups) are full after the most beautiful few days of storytelling, connection, creativity, and community. 💛
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who visited, said yes to collaboration, shared a conversation, or took a piece of art home with them — you made this weekend unforgettable over the @bendigoopenstudios
Special love to @artbystevenstanley , our incredible painter in residence, and Felicity of @felicity__ceramics who’s pieces were featured in the cottage over the weekend, and Steve from Eaglehawk Garden Sculptures - all for their talent and enthusiastic spirit of “just say yes.” 🎨
We can’t wait to do it all again next year — and we’re so excited to open the Cottage for private hire, creative workshops, small events, and exhibitions.
If you’re an artist, maker, or dreamer who’d love to collaborate or host something special here — reach out.

Sarah Wallace-Smith finds big, wet watercolour so much fun to work with! he finds it is this sexy dance between urgency and patience, and loves it! Sarah loves that you don’t have time to wonder about the outcome. You're just working in the moment, accentuating or manipulating the asymmetry of a face or a thing.
Before Sarah starts painting, she spends quite a bit of time playing around with scale and composition to encourage a feeling of intimacy with the viewer, but really have no idea where it’ll end up!
Watercolour also plays beautifully with her pencil drawings of War dogs.
See Sarah's stunning work at Valentine's Antique Gallery, View Street, Bendigo today between 10am - 4pm.
