Art studios and gardens at Wainui and Okitu welcomed hundreds of visitors for the She Shed Tour on Sunday with more than 30 artists taking part in what has become a popular annual event.

People enjoyed a social day out in the sun perusing and purchasing the wide range of arts and crafts on display from pottery to textile art.

“It was perfect weather, the Gizzy sun and the Gizzy public put on a great show for this year’s She Shed,” said founder and committee member Cheryl Scott.

“The feedback was incredibly positive and people were astounded by the range and quality of the art on display.”

“Ladies wore beautiful dresses and more men folk came through this year, many commenting on what a great day they were having.”

The She Shed Tour began in 2016 and celebrates creative women and their spaces with the proceeds of ticket sales going to a different charity each year. This year the recipient is  men’s mental health charity Hear4U.
