The Auckland Handweavers and Spinners Guild hold an exhibition every two years at different venues around Auckland. This year we are proud to host their exhibition, based on a theme related to Franklin: the agricultural industry. Guild members are now working to interpret elements of the vegetable produce and landscape, using their textile art skills. The exhibition will have a judge and awards will be presented at the opening.

The Guild fosters and encourages all fibre crafts, with special emphasis on weaving, spinning, knitting, crochet, felting, dyeing and embellishing. For more information on the Guild, visit their website: {www.handweavers.org.nz}
