ATTRACTIONS PORT FAIRY VIC

Living in Port Fairy, Eclectic Designs Glass Blowing Studio are always aware of the colour combinations of water and sand and how rapidly they change with the weather. The artists love to play with these colours and constantly experiment with new ways to apply them to glass. Enamelling on blown shapes, incorporating shards or delicately constructing tiny flowers embedded in beads are just a few of the ways they can interpret all the variations in nature and love the immediacy of working with molten glass. Speed is essential and any hesitation will disrupt the rhythm and the glass will freeze. It's a very exciting medium.

Wednesday worship 10:30 am - the current covid rules allows room for visitors to join. Sunday worship will recommence in June but until the rules change again they are not able to accomodate visitors in the worship. Visitors are welcome to wander around the ground and admire the church building from the outside. The iconic St John's Anglican Church, surrounded by lawns and the original stone wall, was built in 1856, to replace the smaller, wooden one, then in Sackville Street. The driving force behind the 'new' church was the first Vicar, Dr Braime, a wealthy, highly educated and adventurous Englishman. The gallery was added in 1902, the organ in 1908 and the reredos in several stages, being completed in the 1920s. The tower was built during the wool boom in 1952. The church has held continuous worship from the day it was built to the present. These days it is also a first class and well used concert venue, with its gorgeous ambiance and excellent acoustic and recently its own portable stage and stage lights to ensure that the audience can see as well as hear the concerts. The hall is well utilised by a large variety of community groups and, along with the lawned space between the hall and the church, is becoming a popular, secular wedding venue....
