Weaving Studio Open Day - Feilding
Master weaver Esther Nitschke has an open day this coming Sunday the 3rd of September at her studio at 7 Ranui Place, Feilding. 10am - 4pm.
Come and see her beautiful hand woven blankets and tea towels and she will be doing weaving demonstrations throughout the day.
If you can't make it on Sunday, Esther opens her studio to the public on the 1st Sunday of the month and will be open for the Art Trail Manawatu on the 14th and 15th of October.
These photos are of the beautiful colours of cottlin (cotton x linen) that she uses for weaving tea towels. Aren't they gorgeous?!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
