Community Wreath Activity

Join us any day in May to contribute to the Community Wreath in celebration of local ecologies

An activity by Sera Waters to accompany the exhibition Stability, Grace, Endurance: Hand Crafted in Early Barossa, Barossa Regional Gallery with South Australia’s History Festival (1-31 May 2024)

Wreaths are a repeating motif in early Barossa expressions. Many of these wreaths were hand crafted from paper and textiles to celebrate significant anniversaries, birthdays, and relationships. This community wreath project similarly uses textiles and celebrates our important connections with the Barossa region’s natural environment; from trees to birds, plants, insects, animals, weather, flowers or more.

Whether you are a resident or visitor, please join in by creating an embroidery which celebrates these rich local ecologies, and add it to the community wreath in a collective form of noticing and honouring.

This free community activity is accessible at the Barossa Regional Gallery throughout May.
