Overwrought Sculpture Garden and Gallery
Overwrought Sculpture Garden and Gallery is an inspiring creative retail enterprise set on five acres of lush farmland in Blampied, Central Victoria just eight minutes from Daylesford on the Midland Highway to Ballarat.
Artist David Dawson creates his uniquely Australian sculptural metalwork designs in his extensive workshop. He then displays them next door in the rustic hay-shed gallery and beautifully landscaped garden setting that he has created.
His creations include garden art, native Australian animals and birds, furniture, wall art, magnetic creatures, privacy screens and much more. The gallery also offers the art and produce of local and fair trade artisans, many of whose work is not available to purchase elsewhere.
For your enjoyment, Overwrought has great coffee and treats to take away or be enjoyed in the extensive sculpture gardens. They also provide toilets, and picnicking areas.
Extensive parking is available for all vehicles including caravans and buses. They offer a dog friendly experience with dogs welcome in the gallery and extensive gardens. They are family-friendly and offer opportunities to feed the fish in the numerous garden ponds.
A detailed tour of their manufacturing area and gardens including coffee and cake and a gift is available by booking at the website. They look forward to having you visit.
