Alana Grant and Ruby Vale collaborated to create "Bowerbirds"... the Winner of this years Powertex Award.

I look forward to seeing what they create next!!!
Award Winning Garments Created with Powertex
Many designers in this year's Wearable Art Mandurah event experimented with the use of Powertex to create sculptural form in their garments. Jacq Chorlton was awarded Artist of the Year with her stunning creation, Il etait une fois, in which she used Powertex to solve some challenging aspects of her artwork. Artist Steph Munroe was the winner of the Avante Guard category with her incredible garment Just Breath that utilised Powertex throughout to create the sculptural form. Artist and innovator Alana Grant worked with her daughter Ruby Vale to create Bowerbirds... this was a beautiful piece which demonstrated experimental use of the Powertex medium throughout the garment. Congratulations to all three designers... your awards were well deserved!
