The exhibition runs until the 3rd of October and the gallery is open 10m - 6pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday until then.
Worth seeing in my humble opinion.
I love felting, particularly Nuno felting which is an innovative Japanese felting technique that combines wool and fabric. This type of felt is made by hand attaching very fine wool fibers to silk.The resulting felt is light weight and has excellent drape and flexibility. It combines the lightness of silk with the warmth and funkiness of unspun wool. As well as felt I love shibori, but FELT comes FIRST Joy Ivill

I'm making some shibori wraps for the market this week to be worn with large pins that i will acquire tomorrow. Also making up kits to sell along with instructions - many people wanted to know how to make scarves and wraps themselves.

The Nunnery's a backpackers on one side and a guesthouse on the other, both sides have there own kitchens and laundries, lounge room with open fire and a really good vibe PLUS it's a walk to Brunswick and Gertrude streets for the best restaurants and boutiques around, not unlike Paris.
