Speaker: Jenny Hall
Jenny is well-known to most of you. Earlier this year, she undertook a textile tour to Japan, and came back quite inspired by the innovative work and materials being used. At our meeting on Saturday, 20 July, she will be sharing some of her discoveries with us. Join us to learn what contemporary textile artisans in Japan are exploring and adding to Japan’s already rich textile tradition. Below is an example of “boro” which is currently enjoying a worldwide appreciation. Note in your diaries that selected pieces of “boro” from the Amuse Museum in Japan will be on display at the Canberra Craft and Quilt Fair, 15-18th August 2019. |

New look Textile Works! Our acoustic panel project of woven and felted squares is complete and installed. We think it looks fantastic, as well as providing some degree of sound control in our main room. Thanks to Monique for driving this delightful collaborative project with our CRFM friends. |
