Take a leap down the rabbit hole and wonder through an Alice in Wonderland-inspired felt and fibre exhibition in Drysdale.
SpringDale Felt and Textile Artists will host its Through the Looking Glass exhibition at SpringDale Hall from 10am to 4pm on June 7 and 8.
Group member Jo Aspland said everyone was welcome to attend the event for its 8th year to continue a tradition of engagement and support.
“The creativity and stuff that comes out of some of our members is amazing. They all go off in different directions,” she said.
“Our group works with felting and fibre textiles. Everybody has different styles and takes on the theme, but we decided to go down a bit of that Alice in Wonderland theme.
“We will have a lot of hand-made and felted garments, scarves, hats and gloves. We also have people in our group who do beautiful weaving and eco-printing. So, it’s quite a variety.
“Once we’ve all got it set up, I look forward to seeing everybody’s work. We also get some really interesting people come through and we never know what people are going to be interested in.”
Ms Aspland said many works featured in the exhibition contained elements of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland with felted top hats and a recreation of the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.
Entry into the exhibition is by a gold coin donation with many felted items on display and demonstrations happening throughout the event.
