Update on Warburton Group:
The group has decided to make a felted panel to sew their crochet coral onto. The girls have done a great job. Rather than buy prepreared wool for the felt, the girls took on the challenge of the entire process from the raw fleece. Well done!!! Looking forward to seeing how it all comes together. For those interested, the panel will be on display at the Bendigo Sheep & Wool Show in July 2011.

1st Exhibition Huge Success!!!!!!

The first exhibition of The Melbourne Reef exhibition has now closed. We have had wonderful feedback from visitors to the gallery.  Thank you to everyone who made such a successful exhibition possible, you should all be very proud of what we have achieved together

With the first chapter in The Melbourne Reef story complete, watch this space for news on where the exhibition will be next.

A new series of workshops will be starting again soon. So if you missed out last time around and would like to join in, send me an email letting me know what area you are living in and I will see what I can do about organising something near to you.
