Est. 1982 · Yallingup, Western Australia
I drove over the hill,
saw the ocean, and said —
we're never going home.
— John Streater, on arriving in Yallingup, 1982

Meet the maker
A craftsman trains for a lifetime.
John arrived in Yallingup in 1982 — twenty-five years old, having driven across the Nullarbor with a board for the surf. He spent six years working for a local maker, then in 1988 raised his own workshop on Blythe Road, by hand, in jarrah and southwest limestone. He is still at the bench inside it.
Every piece carries an inlaid gum leaf — hand-carved, placed somewhere quiet, an authentication for future generations. The trees come from the bush around the gallery; the work comes from forty-plus years of doing only this.
“I wanted to create Australian culture
in my furniture.”
— John Streater, The Australian
The gallery
And the work of others, on our walls.
The east room of the workshop is given to artists we admire — glass, painting, photography, pearls, sculpture — from across Western Australia.
