Overview
If fabrics are your forte, you’re in for a treat this long weekend. The Textiles Art Festival has rolled into town with an assortment of material goods stock bigger than your Nan’s knitting cupboard.
If you’re looking for some inspiration to kick-start your creative flair, the Textiles Fair is the place to find it. Embellished fabrics, cloth, quilts and all the knitting supplied you ever needed. It’s the perfect start to a quiet weekend at home with you and your sewing machine.
Installations, workshops and artist talks will be on the timetable as well as some DIY displays, craft comps and, my favorite segment of the festival, the Art U Wear entry finalists. This year’s theme for the competition is Circus Berserkus and the costumes are gonna be crazy! So crazy, in fact, that the word berserk was not quite adequate to describe the outrageousness that this event contains.
The circus characters will be making an on stage appearance in costume line up showcasing the brilliant, bizarre, glittering and glamorous.
Go on - take your Mum along! She’ll love you for it.
