Mayfield Gallery
Above our bottle shop/wine bar is a light, airy room that showcases the work of local artists, serves as an occasional meeting room, and offers a quiet retreat for reading and sipping. Our friends at 2 Mayfield Street —a meeting hub around the corner where makers and thinkers meet, sell, create, screen, launch, and discuss their ideas— ensure that the walls are adorned with a rotating display of art, sculpture, and makers’ works.

Mrs. Cardwell’s Ghost
14. February–15. March, 2023
Joint Exhibit by Joe Pascoe and John O’Neil
John O’Neil is nationally regarded photographer. John is represented in the National Gallery of Victoria, and has exhibited at the Australian Centre of Contemporary Art with panoramas of post bush fire landscapes.
The selection for Cardwell Gallery includes a little-shown small goods shops series. Again exploring the idea of profound transformation in his artwork, echoing a passion in his own life for understanding the cycle of existence.
Joe Pascoe is a poet who uses collage to create social symbols. It is surrealism in the dada sense, offering a torn ticket to another reality. This selection riffs on the history of Cardwell Gallery as a former, popular lolly shop.
This event is free of charge. Please RSVP at Eventbrite.

Mayfield Street Clay Club
6.–8. December, 2022
Group Exhibit by the members of the Mayfield Street Studio
The young artists from Mayfield Street Clay Club showed the results of their 8-week ceramics workshop. Here’s one example of the creative, fun, sometimes serious and often hilarious projects.
Marlowe – The Sea Monster
My sister and I were swimming at the beach one day. We saw this shadow and I started swimming back to shore and Elan said, “Why are you swimming back?” I looked at her staring and the massive monster was about to chomp her head off.
The only thing that remains is the leg of the body…
Next year Mayfield Street will offer Wood Craft in addition to the Clay Club.
