Textile works on display

Alison Naylor (left) and Robyn Bitcheno show off one of Ms Naylor's textile creations, part of a public art exhibition which also gives an insight into the technique involved in textile art.

Six women from Central Otago are presenting their work, created after a two-day workshop last year, conducted by Irish textile artist Ann Fleeton.

Finished works and examples of technique elements, with descriptions, are on show.

"When we applied for funds for the workshop, we promised to share what we learnt. It was a very inspiring teacher, so we are happy to show what it takes to create the artwork," Ms Bitcheno said.
