Artzability are a self-funded group of artists who create their work with help from their support carers.

The bird houses were built by the Margaret River Men’s Shed and Lee Gillan taught how to mosaic them. The exhibition also showcases other creations by the artists including encaustic art mandalas, mosaic tiles and hand built models of birds. The Cocoon is a burst of vibrant colours and textures and is a must see. The exhibition is on show until the end of August.
