Off A Sheep's Back
Wool is an incredible and versatile material. In addition to making art, textiles and carpets, another of the many uses of wool is under-sea invasive weed suppression, the natural wool being an environmentally sustainable alternative to plastics.
This collection reflects the diversity of natural wool using a range of “painting” and sculptural techniques.
Through Off A Sheep’s Back you will observe how the artist uses the natural properties of wool to create abstract and beautiful landscapes and whimsical creatures. The artist describes wool as a medium that is absorbing and joy to work with.

Free Events:
Felting Demonstrations
Saturdays 23 & 30 March and 6 April
10am - 11am
Join Lyn Wardlaw in the Community Gallery to see how the artist uses wool fibres to create art.
Booking is not required.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
