Margaret of The Stockyard Gallery writes in to show us her art gallery and cafe in Mataranka (Northern Territory). Her walls are made from corrugated iron, so she hangs her artwork magnetically using Rare Earth rods.
It came about because I don’t have anyone here (400kms south of Darwin) to make temporary wooden frames to display the art, so that is when I thought of magnets and it is great. I have gone magnet mad since then, it is the easiest way to display all sorts of things on metal walls.
If you have the luxury of metal walls, magnets are by far the easiest way of showing your work or decorating. Nothing is ever permanent, as you can swap and change with minimal fuss.
Margaret has been using the 10mm x 16mm Rare Earth Rods, but would recommend something slightly smaller (but not too small, as they tend to stick together, she reports).
Thanks for sharing, Margaret! We love your use.
