Ross church

 On a recent trip to Ross I visited the local church and was left wondering, Why havent I visited it earlier. Ross is a town in the centre of Tasmania, one I have always loved and visited often. This church is a little gem so if you are ever passing I would urge you to stop and have a look.

 

 

bothwell weaving #2

Here are some more weavings created by local Tasmanian weavers( Valeri, Beata and Di )on display at Bothwell. And below is the silk weaving our Japanese Guests were doing. I just love the fine silk weaving. After seeing all these wonderful weaving I have made the plunge into the world of weaving, and so far I love it. So much to learn but also so much fun to be had.

Sue Evans felting workshop

 The wonderful Sue Evans ran a felting workshop at the Guild recently. 10 very keen felters took part in the fun of creating a sample scarf. Bubble wrap and colourful fleece filled the space.

 Here we have Sue demonstrating some techniques.

And some of the finished samples. We all had so much fun and Sue is such a great teacher.
