Janna Hayes’ first gallery solo show is on now at Weswal Gallery, Tamworth and we – are – pumped. Be sure to head along to opening night this Saturday 8 June, 5pm.

Emily Honess – operator of Tamworth’s newest op shop, Talking Threads – is on a mission to normalise second-hand shopping, revitalise the lost art of mending and protect the environment, one piece of vintage clothing at a time.

The games Katherine Sherrie’s family played on road trips were a little different to your standard ‘I Spy’ or travel-sized ‘Ludo’. As a flour milling family with a passion for baked goods, the Sherries opted for ‘Name that crop!’ instead. Today, that knowledge combined with Katherine’s business acumen, baking skills and a passion for regional life ensure she’s well-equipped for her role at FPM Cereal Milling Systems.

Emma Stanley is an artist based in Tamworth NSW. Swapping her paint brush for an Apple pencil after becoming a mum, Emma continues to create beautiful pieces for others to enjoy, all while navigating the new-found busyness of day-to-day life. An artistic force who loves to share what she creates, now Emma can teach you too.

Powerhouse pair Laura and Narelle spill the tea on what it’s like starting a business as a mother / daughter team, turning shared passions and creativity into a unique way to spend time together.
