Treasure exhibition: past, present and future
What does Treasure mean to you?
Treasure : Something valuable that is hidden or kept in a safe place.
What Treasure are you hiding in your mind?
Born from the depths of our consciousness, Treasure explores the relationship between idea and creation. We’ve assembled 16 artists from Narrm, Warrang, and Meanjin (aka Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane) to explore this idea and present to you our creations. We hope you find the Treasure you are looking for!
Featuring artworks by:
Midnight Kiss Jewellery | Christina Gore Jewellery | Vincent Jewellery | Emma Rea | Subtle Chains | Holla Ceramics | Gang Of Babes Photography | Serpent Rouge Jewellery | Cut Off Your Hands Jewellery | Ophelia Weeps | Skadi Jewellery Design | Halo & Hurt | Tatiana Craufurd Gormly | Cloudstreet Calling | Cybergoth | Tay Bassi
From the moment I was asked to be part of the Treasure Exhibition my brain was overflowing with ideas. I couldn’t have picked a better theme myself! Then I saw all of the other incredible artists who were to be involved and I felt so honoured to participate (and like I needed to pull my socks up and create something special to avoid embarrassing myself!).
To me, the things which conceal treasure are often more beautiful than the treasure itself. Whether it’s the story of the quest, the unravelling of a mystery or puzzle, hidden compartments or even the details in a receptacle for the loot. As a jeweller, obviously I’m still drawn to shiny things, but it’s the shiny things with a story that are the most compelling.

The Treasure Exhibition will be held at Honey Bones in Collingwood on December 9th and 10th.
The collection includes jewellery, ceramics, resin and photographs.
It will run for one night and one day, but sales will remain online for a week. It will be ticketed (free) for covid reasons. This show will highlight the creativity of women and non binary folk, and there will be an opportunity for everyone (including allies) to attend.
This will be a dry event and is proudly sponsored by Killjoy drinks.
All unsold artworks are available to purchase here
Dear Clare,
Love the designs. Are they for sale and if so what are the prices of the Treasure Chest Necklace and the Sanctuary? My daughter Skye has two of your pieces already and loves them……so, I thought these would make the perfect Christmas gift.
Regards, Denise Firth
Thanks Denise! They will all be for sale but they’re with the exhibition organisers now so they’re not available for purchase until the exhibition opening (December 9). If you don’t want to wait until then send me an email and we can work something out (I might be able to make you something similar 😉 ).
The Treasure Chest Necklace will be $349 and Sanctuary $1899.
