BIRDS OF TASMANIA Limited Edition Prints
To celebrate the first anniversary of the publication of Birds of Tasmania by Susan Lester, the Lester Family and OUTSIDE THE BOX / Earth Arts Rights, in collaboration with Wagner Framemakers, have released six limited edition, archival fine art prints from the suite of 200 watercolour works created by Susan over a four-year period in the late 1980s. With just an edition of 25 of each of the six selected birds, we know interest will be high and that the editions will sell out very quickly.

The framed price of $750 is based on these materials. Your choice of custom framing is also available, with any additional cost calculated on your preferred materials. Each limited edition print has an embossed Seal of Authenticity from the Lester Family and comes with a numbered Edition Certificate.

water[shed] Pedder Package
Our water[shed] project campaign merchandise spread the word and raised valuable funds for the Restore Pedder campaign. Thanks to the 50 generous artists who participated in the water[shed] exhibition at Bett Gallery we were able to donate over $44,000 to the campaign. We delivered a copy of the book into the hands of every federal MP and every Tasmanian MHA and MLC. Hundreds of people completed Restore Pedder jigsaws, taking part in imagining the Lake’s restoration. Hundreds more used the Pedder postcards and boxed card sets to write letters to decision-makers respectfully asking for the restoration of the Lake.
We still have just a small amount of this beautiful and effective campaign merchandise looking for a good home. So we have decided to offer the book, boxed card set and jigsaw together as a Pedder Package in order to clear the decks in readiness for the next big thing! This package of hope for the restoration of Lake Pedder is a thank you to all Pedder People. Fifty years on and still fighting. They never gave up and nor will we. All that disappears will eventually resurface. Restore, bring back, return.
Valued at $120.
