Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Fibre Exhibition!
The organisers are changing things up this year! We won’t have a competition, however we’re still keen for our local makers to have the opportunity to show off their fabulous creations! Have you created something that fits the theme of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle? If so, we’d love to put it on display during Fibre Fest 2025!
For example, have you used left over bits of material to create a rag-rug? Or maybe you have used an old pair of jeans to create a handy tote bag? Or have you used a bunch of scrap materials to create a unique jumper? (Just like Sally from Society Knits who used scrap yarn to create the gorgeous jumper, cardigan and top pictured above!)
If you have something that fits the theme and are keen to show off your work as part of the Fibre Fest Exhibition, please drop the item(s) straight to TACC during opening hours (Tues-Thur 1-4pm) or email the Fibre Fest Coordindator Natalie via chair@theartscentrecootamundra.org.au (We may be able to arrange to pick up.)
Keep in mind, Fibre Fest isn’t until the 31st of May, so you still have time to make something for the Exhibition. Now is the time to get started on those projects you have been saying you will do ‘one day’. Collect your rags, scrap yarn / wool, search through your old clothes and unleash your creativity! We would need items to be at TACC by 12noon on Friday the 30th of May at the latest.
Community Art Project
This year we’re running a Community Art Project as part of Fibre Fest 2025. All attendees will have the opportunity to participate in the creation of a shaggy wall hanging - a throwback to the 70s where the best carpets were shag! We’re hoping by the end of the day to have a super colourful wall hanging that will be hung at The Arts Centre Cootamundra as a lasting monument to the creative people of Cootamundra and the wider area.
To ensure this project is a success, we’re asking for our local makers to donate any unwanted or leftover fibre products for use on the day. We’d love any donations of yarn, ribbon, roving or the like. You can drop your donations into The Arts Centre Cootamundra during opening hours (Tues-Thur 1-4pm) OR bring them with you on the day!
