The Vallentine Project

The Vallentine Project The Vallentine Project creates individual handmade homewares products and installation pieces. Bianca Vallentine finds inspiration in the individual.

In community. In the number of slow, considered threads it takes to form a pattern. She creates products that make life more cosy, experiences more colourful – and her practice a hard one to define. After studying Fashion and Textile Design at Curtin University in WA, she now creates soft, beautiful things that include clothing, cushions, bed linen and home wares; she’s also explored film; curated events; crafted vibrant installations and adorned walls and windows with sprawling, delicately cut swathes of streamers – all unique, one-of-a-kind and handmade in her leafy studio at Northcote’s Pop & Scott workshop [www.popandscott.com]. The Vallentine Project is the umbrella under which this creative collage comes together. Here, Bianca’s own work sits alongside regular collaborations with others such as illustrator Andy Murphy; photographer Penny Lane; industrial creatives Moth Design and landscape designer Phillip Withers amongst others. The Vallentine Project is committed to a constant, playful evolution, however the ideas that anchor it remain the same: to create beauty in the every day; value in the unique and to produce pieces and experiences that are as special as they are functional. It’s also about not letting dust gather on the things that bring us the most joy – usability, wearability and the history of the hand made naturally imbue themselves in everything Bianca does.

Yesterday we said farewell to my father-in-law, Terry- Andy’s step dad 💔 and Immy and Errol’s grandad.

Terry was great. He was kind and mischievous and totally equipped to do anything in this world, and I suspect any other. He was a hippy-wizard, loved trees and made art. Most of his paintings feature an eagle 🦅 which is fairly symbolic of his world view and his deep understanding of many things.

I didn’t realise I was doing this but I’ve been documenting his studios for years- they were so fascinating. We even made a film in one whilst he built a huge bonfire for the famous hog-tied naked man scene that showed at L’Oréal Fashion Festival and won a best cinematography award.

Terry loved building teepees and once built one made from recycled tent flys that looked like a kaleidoscope when you were in it. This kind of magical experience is indescribable and one I will always remember.

His absence leaves a large hole in this world to the people that encountered him, but I don’t feel like he’s gone, but more that he’s everywhere. 🧡 I’ll be seeing you Terry x

Yesterday I ran a workshop where the kids could paint a bag and it was great ⚡️The young people in the room were super talented and an absolute joy to spend 2 hours with 🧡
Thanks so much for the lovely parents who backed this community workshop and rye_community_house for being the home to provide it.
I don’t do many of these any more but I do love it when I do, thanks Rye ###
