Artist
The craft of shell stringing is thousands of years old. Today’s Tasmanian indigenous artists visit the Flinders and Cape Barren islands where their traditional shells can still be found. They dig into the sand, glean from the giant kelp and remove from the rocks their raw ingredients. These are then cleaned and painstakingly polished before stringing into necklaces and bracelets.
