Lower Clarence Arts and Crafts Association
Ferry Park Gallery is located at 5287 Big River Way (formerly the Pacific Highway) off the roundabout at the southern entrance to the Scottish Town of Maclean, overlooking a beautiful section of the Clarence River.
The Gallery is open from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm daily, 363 days per year. Closed Christmas Day and Anzac Day.
We are Maclean Patchwork and Quilters, a community of makers who come together each week to explore colour, texture, and the quiet joy of creating with our hands. Our work is rooted in tradition yet open to experimentation, blending classic quilting techniques with modern design, textile art, and the individual styles of our members. For us, quilting is more than stitching fabric. It is storytelling. It is connection. It is the shared rhythm of conversation, creativity, and friendship that fills our sewing room every Tuesday. Each piece we make carries the imprint of its maker — their choices, their patience, their imagination — yet together our work reflects the collective spirit of our group. We are proud of our long history in the Clarence Valley and of the many quilts we have created for local families, organisations, and community causes. Giving back is woven into who we are. As Artist of the Month, we share a selection of handmade pieces that celebrate the beauty of fabric, the value of craftsmanship, and the enduring pleasure of making something meaningful by hand. We hope our work brings warmth, inspiration, and a sense of connection to all who view it.
Maclean Patchwork & Quilters Group’s work is available at Ferry Park Gallery until May 30th. See more information and photographs at: https://ferrypark.net/artist-of-the-month/
