<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;">Tasmanians have felt the winter cold for years; this year, the cold will be felted. And knitted. And woven. And spun…</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;">June may be one of the colder months in Tasmania but this is all the more reason to visit the “Comfort” exhibition. The Handweavers, Spinners & Dyers Guild of Tasmania Inc. are once again celebrating the Guild’s diverse collection of technical talent and design skills with their biennial exhibition. This year The Design Centre (</span><span style="font-family: Times;">Cnr Tamar and Brisbane Streets, Launceston Tasmania) will host the exhibition from </span><span style="font-family: Times;">Saturday 2 June until Sunday </span><span style="font-family: Times;">1 July 2012.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;">The month long exhibition will showcase amazing works that have been<span> </span>handwoven, spun, dyed and felted to create all manner of visual feasts.<span> </span>Upon entering the main gallery 4.5-metre lengths of textiles will be hung within the space, forming a maze of different levels of transparency and showcasing many different techniques and textures. The beautiful Tasmanian winter light will cast shadows amongst the comforting textiles. As you walk around these large textile works smaller pieces will reveal themselves: traditional items worn for comfort, items we have at home that we find reassuring and items that soothe our soul.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;">During the exhibition the Guild will also be hosting lunchtime talks during the exhibition about different techniques used in the various textile fields represented. There will also be artists in residence discussing their specific works, inspirations and techniques during the exhibition.<span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% aqua;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;">This biennial exhibition is one not to be missed.<span> </span>I am sure it will have you coming back again to admire the amazing and diverse skills that members of the Handweavers, Spinners & Dyers Guild of Tasmania have to offer.</span></div>

During the exhibition we are encouraging people to “have a go.” To try knitting
and spinning. So donations of skills, fleece, commercial knitting yarn for
first time knitters, maybe even simple cardboard weaving loams would all be
greatly appreciated so we have items on hand so that when we have guild members
spinning/weaving/dry felting etc at the Design Centre we have materials and
tools that may be used so people may have a hands on experience.</span> <span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
<br />
If people are using the gallery space to spin/weave/dry felt/knit their home
spun or dyed yarn etc and the finished products are for charity or any event
that is news worthy please let me know so that we have a chance to try and
organise media coverage.</span> <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt;"></span></div>seven_sisters_of_pleiadeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06055305065533307773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209660405151883647.post-30363895645237181232011-07-05T23:39:00.002-07:002012-03-30T02:42:47.917-07:00Categories of comfort<style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Times;
