Turners Beach · 80.1 km from the previous stop

Turners Beach TAS 7315, Australia

Nicole Viney works from Turners Beach on Tasmania's northwest coast, making jewellery in gold and sterling silver set with local gemstones. The Venus Collection begins with shells she and friends actually picked up along the shore — cast into pendants that function as small, specific acts of place-keeping. Honest about what it is.
