On Saturday November 1 st at 2pm the Retrospective Exhibition: lynne johnson … she
who knits etc will be officially opened by Canberra arts advocate, writer and critic, Meredith
Hincliffe. Meredith has been involved with the arts in Canberra since 1977 when she joined
the Crafts Council of the ACT as its Executive Secretary and then Director.

 

The exhibition will include knitted items along with some ‘etceteras’ including stitched and
crocheted pieces and items that highlight the interplay of stitching, knitting and crochet work
that have been features of Lynne’s work. Initially this was mainly in domestic, friendship and
community group spheres, later in wider fibre art circles as a tutor and writer under her
Women of Fibre label.

 

The Retrospective will continue through to November 14th . The opening hours are as
follows: Saturdays and Sundays 10am-4pm, Tuesdays to Fridays 10am-2pm, and closed
on Mondays.

 

Greenhills will overlap with the Exhibition on the second weekend Nov 7th -10th .
Out of town participants may wish to extend their Canberra visit before or after Greenhills
giving them the opportunity to participate in both activities. For those needing
accommodation - the Statesman Hotel in Curtin is 14km from Greenhills via the Cotter Road
and only 4km from the CSW Gallery at 70 Maclaurin Crescent in Chifley. Contact the Manager, Dianne Baker. She has approved a Group 10% discount to those wishing to visit the Exhibition.
