TOTEMS ON SHOW SEE THESE GORGEOUS FREEFORM TOTEMS AT THE FAIR – KNIT & CROCHET ARTWORK! Freeform knitting and crochet styles have been effectively combined

by Prudence Mapstone to produce a display of more than eight arresting totem shapes.

Traditionally a totem represents a kinship group and while some poles celebrate cultural beliefs, others – such as the ones in this display – are mostly artistic.

All but one are created in freeform style, however ‘Light at the end of the Tunnel’ is created using a style of knitting called intarsia – a technique where fields of different colours and materials appear to be inlaid in one another, but are in fact all separate pieces, put together like a jigsaw puzzle.

The vibrant colours, different textiles and techniques will amaze you.

See what fun can be had with knitting and crochet!

THE SENTINELLES ENJOY A DISPLAY OF EMBROIDERED TEXTILE ART! The Sentinelles exhibition is the concept of Dijanne Cevaal and originally consisted of just the large pieces by Dijanne. She then hand printed smaller panels that could be bought by others to create embroideries, and each purchaser of these hand printed panels could embroider or embellish the pieces in their own way. This has resulted in contributions by stitchers throughout France and Australia.

The exhibition explores aspects of the environment and the term Sentinelle infers watching over.

Dijanne has recently returned from a successful exhibition tour with the Sentinelles in France, this moving display can be seen at the fair, before returning to France by popular demand.
