SUMMARY:Creature Feature Ceramic Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:They’ve been smuggled in under cover of darkness. Local ceramicists have unleashed their most inventive creations at the Pot House – and now they wait. Perched. Watching. Ready to claim a place in your world… or take you into theirs.\nFringe Festival 2026 has become their landing site. Take one home if you dare. Adopt a creature of your very own – before they adopt you\, some are suspiciously cute (probably the most dangerous ones). \nThink of creatures that defy logic—beings that seem born from myth\, mutation\, or distant galaxies. Tentacled forms with too many eyes. Curious hybrids with fins\, claws\, or unexpected limbs. Creatures that might have escaped a laboratory\, drifted up from the ocean floor\, or landed from somewhere far beyond our sky.  \nThis is a celebration of the wonderfully weird\, the oddly beautiful\, and the utterly inventive. The makers have dreamed up truly imaginative creatures that stirs curiosity\, raises an eyebrow\, or lingers in the mind long after you’ve looked away.

SUMMARY:Worn Multimedia Jewellery Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:A Tauranga Fringe Festival Show\nA feature attraction of the Tauranga Fringe Festival WORN is a celebration of adornment\, jewellery\, fashion objects and the beautiful unexpected contemporary wearable art. \nWe have artists\, makers\, designers and creative provocateurs who have transformed a simple black oil drum into a captivating miniature exhibition. \nThink beyond traditional jewellery.

The results are refined and precious\, raw and experimental.  Some are sustainably driven or gloriously extravagant.  WORN invites bold ideas and imaginative presentation. \nEach artist has curated a selection of suspend works that are wearable art collections demonstrating creativity\, craftsmanship and a strong artistic vision.  Each cohesive collection of wearable works stands proudly as both art and adornment\, they create unexpected juxtapositions and transform each suspended drum into a miniature exhibition.\n\nFrom elegant contemporary jewellery to wearable sculpture\, body adornments and textile interventions\, WORN celebrates the rich diversity of wearable art practice.

SUMMARY:Worn Multimedia Jewellery Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:A Tauranga Fringe Festival Show\nA feature attraction of the Tauranga Fringe Festival WORN is a celebration of adornment\, jewellery\, fashion objects and the beautiful unexpected contemporary wearable art. \nWe have artists\, makers\, designers and creative provocateurs who have transformed a simple black oil drum into a captivating miniature exhibition. \nThink beyond traditional jewellery. These creatives have channelled their inner Vivienne Westwood. Embraced brutalist industrial aesthetics and explored salvaged treasures and upcycled materials. The results are refined and precious\, raw and experimental.  Some are sustainably driven or gloriously extravagant.  WORN invites bold ideas and imaginative presentation. \nEach artist has curated a selection of suspend works that are wearable art collections demonstrating creativity\, craftsmanship and a strong artistic vision.  Each cohesive collection of wearable works stands proudly as both art and adornment\, they create unexpected juxtapositions and transform each suspended drum into a miniature exhibition.\n\nFrom elegant contemporary jewellery to wearable sculpture\, body adornments and textile interventions\, WORN celebrates the rich diversity of wearable art practice.
