If you thought you had missed this fabulous event - you haven’t, it is touring to Artspace Mackay (23rd March - 29th April 2007)

The Tamworth Fibre Textile Biennial is the pre-eminent recurrent fibre textile exhibition in Australia. This year’s theme, In the World: head, hand, heart, highlights works where traditional techniques are referenced or are used in contemporary textile practice. It’s an exhibition that challenges everything you ever thought about knitting, embroidery, weaving and appliqué. Even old blankets are reinvented as sculpture.
