Discover the Artisans of Handmade on the South Coast

After many years of planting and growing local flowers for cutting for the floristry at Meadows Rd Flowers in Moruya, Wendy Fitzgerald is now retired and creates beautiful arrangements featuring artisanal floral design using locally sourced blooms. 

The fresh flowers she offers are long-lasting, and most of the dried flowers are also local. Additionally, Wendy arranges faux flowers and can supply these for dinner parties, small events, or special occasions.

You can learn artisanal floral design through pressed flower making workshops by Wendy Fitzgerald, which are held throughout the year. Wendy loves attending the Handmade markets, connecting with a lovely growing community that values local flowers.

I love taking beautiful quality fabrics and creating art on them, to wear or display. The diversity of processes and outcomes never ceases to amaze me. I am always seeking to improve the sustainability and quality of the final product. I want my fabrics and clothes to be loved and worn for decades.

Each piece is unique in time and place because there are so many variables; the season of collection, the amount of sun on a particular leaf, water quality and then, of course, the textiles themselves.

I love making memorial pieces for people, a record of a special garden or natural environment, Nanna’s garden, a beloved home or the location of a special event, a wedding or a family holiday.

A great passion of mine is sharing knowledge and skills through workshops.

I deliver one-on-one teaching and small group workshops.

The goal of the workshops is to teach students how to use ethically sourced botanical materials and textiles to create lasting naturally dyed and printed works. 

Students learn to create textile designs that do not compromise the integrity or quality of the fabrics and create colours and prints that last the lifetime of the cloth. The workshops give learners the ability to keep experimenting and developing their own practice.
