Tree jumpers competition delivers spectacular results

Katie from Bluebird Kitchen and Smokehouse has made a tree every year for the past seven years.

By Dominique Tassell

The Jumpers and Jazz tree jumper competition delivered spectacular artwork throughout Warwick’s CBD once again.

The winners of the yearly competition, judged by Warwick Art Gallery, cover a wide variety of people in our community.

Katie from Bluebird Kitchen and Smokehouse has made a tree every year for the past seven years, and this year incorporated an element from every past tree into her design.

She makes the tree with her mum and has also incorporated pieces that customers have made throughout the years.
