Artbeat festival at Ipswich. The crowd flocked to the festival to try the huge range of creative offerings. There was woodturning, hula hoop making, mosaic, flying fish, magic wands, felting sculpted monsters, body painting, musical instrument making, sculpted paper brooches and sand art. Ignite Artists were making fresco pendants.  It was a wonderful sight to see the crowd turn out to this very hands on arts festival organised by Ipswich council, in d’Arcy Doyle place. Part of the Ipswich Festival. http://www.ipswich.qld.gov.au/about_ipswich/news_and_events/artbeat
