Gillawarra Arts Gum Journey Earrings

the brand story:

Gillawarra Arts is a creative arts business originating in the mid-north coast of NSW. Krystal Hurst is a Worimi woman who designs handmade jewellery using materials from nature, and specialises in contemporary Aboriginal artworks on canvas, murals and running workshops. Krystal grew up on the banks of Taree’s Manning River and the beautiful salty sea on the mid-North Coast. Spending her childhood fishing, swimming and gathering sea foods at Forster and many coastal inlets around Taree, Krytal's handmade jewellery uses natural materials and draws on nature for inspiration. Gillawarra Arts speaks of the Land, Sky, Rivers and Sea, and draws on old knowledge and new stories interwoven by Aboriginal women for its wearers to feel a sense of pride, connection and empowerment. The jewellery sings of memories, language and Culture that is strong and thriving. In Gathang/Kattang language, Gillawarra means resting place. Gillawarra is the place where Ancestors set up camp to rest before making their journey along the rivers to perform Keepara (ceremony).
