Gallery two will celebrate the festive season with Gifted, a series of installations by selected artists.

Until November 22, ceramicist Louise Simonette will share her techniques for jewellery making and hand-built sculptures.

Simonette will work in residence on November 18 and 19, and present workshops for children.

Collage and crochet sculptor Mikaela Castledine, of Kalamunda, moves in from November 27 to December 6.

Castledine is best known for her life-size crocheted rhinoceros at Sculpture by the Sea last year.

She will share her other passion, 2D collage landscapes along with her most recent crocheted sculptural forms.

There is a double celebration from December 11 to 20, with timber jewellery maker Kath Stanwix of Darlington and linocut and etching printmaker Helen Clarke.

The pair will also present workshops and artworks for giving.

The Gifted artists will join with Clear from 1pm-2.30pm on Sunday, November 29 to discuss their arts practice and inspirations. For more visit mundaringartscentre.com.au.
