Professional Weavers' Network of NZ: FLIGHT Exhibition

Do make time during the busy Festival weekend to see ‘Flight’ an exhibition by the Professional Weavers' Network. It will be showing at the Riverlore Gallery, 1494 State Highway 6, from 25 April to 2 May.

Using the idea of Flight as inspiration, the members of the Network have returned to their studios to interpret this topic. The resulting exhibition includes wall hung, floor mounted and suspended pieces that all use skilfully woven cloth as the basis for each work.
