THE shuttle flew – in the expert’s hands at least – at the Artists’ Collective in Tenterfield on Saturday 4 June.
Textile artist Rosemary Boyle had one of her many looms set up in the gallery.
Soon the striped threads (warp) were transformed in to a pattern of diamonds as Rosemary’s feet and hands worked in concert.
Having demonstrated the basics she let adventurous visitors have a go and they discovered it was not quite so easy.
Rosemary will be weaving in the gallery most mornings during the exhibition and visitors are invited to drop in to watch this wonderful craft.
Rosemary’s exhibition of hand spun and handwoven scarves, throws and rugs in bamboo, alpaca, silk, wool, acrylic and mohair runs until 29 June.
The Artists’ Collective Studio is at 1/199 Rouse Street, Tenterfield, and is open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10am to 4pm and Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 3pm.
