SALA Exhibition | MANY HANDS | Aldinga Community Potters
Onkaparinga Gallery
Continues until 7 September

Many Hands explores the diverse creative expression of the Aldinga Community Potters. This exhibition celebrates the maker’s hand and how each artist has found their unique approach to working with clay. Uniting this eclectic group is the community connections formed through their common interest in ceramics and the weekly pursuit of individual creative expression. From the functional to fantastical, this exhibition demonstrates the myriad forms that can be created in clay, if placed in many hands of disparate makers.

SALA Exhibition | Emma Fält | Wilderness
Red Rover Gallery
continues until 7 September
Emma Fält

Emma Fält is a South Australian artist based in Sellicks Beach, with influences drawn from a life on the move. Her work explores the balance between fragility and resilience through acrylics, charcoal, pen and translucent tissue paper. Earlier layers remain visible like scars – traces of time, memory and endurance. Her current series, Wilderness, draws on the wildflower as a symbol of courage and renewal. Rooted in her own journey of acceptance and healing, Emma’s art invites reflection on growth, beauty and enduring strength.
