The weavers are all members of the Australian ‘Weavers’ Forum’, a group established in 1998 by local Trudy Newman.

“When the group first started we had about 20 members and it has now grown to around 200,” says Trudy. “We have members in every state of Australia and they keep in touch via newsletter and our web site http://www.weaversforum.com/

Approximately 22 works will be on show reflecting a wide range of techniques available to the hand weaver. Both tapestry and loom weaving are represented and visitors can see on display rugs, wall hangings, garments, wraps and shawls.
