Bungendore Wood Works Gallery Brochure

We exhibit and promote Australian wood art, giftware, sculpture and contemporary furniture by the country’s foremost designer/makers in wood. We take pride in the skill and art of Australia’s craftspeople, and in the varied richness and beauty of our native timbers. We collaborate with makers to design and develop new work to ensure the Gallery remains a leader in woodcraft and studio furniture.

THE BUILDINGThe Gallery was designed to create an ideal environment for exhibiting works in wood and other media. It was built in 1994 from Australian materials: Jarrah posts, beams and staircase; Tasmanian Oak floors; ebonised Victorian Ash window and door frames; and New South Wales Flooded Gum wall panelling.

WHY A GALLERY IN BUNGENDORE?Artistic Director and founder, David Mac Laren, opened the Gallery in an historic building opposite the present Gallery in 1983. “When I moved from New York City to Bungendore, I wanted a space to display my furniture as well the work

of other makers from the Region. This is where I wished to live and work. I believed that our gallery could prosper in a village setting. If we represent the best possible woodcraft in the best possible way, then people will seek us out. And they have.”
