The Bi-ennial Exhibition 2012 - COMFORT 

The exhibition may be convened in Launceston at the Punchbowl Christian Centre. It is an enormous, light-filled space with lots of woodpanelling, and we have full acess to the canteen to provide a good selection of refreshments.

The dates are most likely to be Wednesday 6 June thru to and including Saturday 9 June 2012.

The theme is COMFORT, which takes many forms. If you would like to assist me by being a part of the Exhibition Committee, please get in touch. All offers of help are appreciated.

Here are the categories for submissions to the exhibition:

Corpus - Comfort for the Body
a. Clothing
b. Accessories
Dressing for comfort is something most of us consider when choosing our clothing and accessories each day. This category is for anything you wear on the body, broken up into either clothing or accessories.

Animus - Comfort for the Mind
a. Homewares
b. Manchester
Surrounding ourselves with things that comfort us is how we build a home. This category is broken into homewares, decorative beauties that we make to brighten our homes, and manchester, for blankets and linens (including table runners, napkins and placemats etc).

Spiritus - Comfort for the Soul
a. Art Yarns
b. Experimental Textiles
c. Art Works
A place for those things that give comfort to our souls and satiate the incessant need to create for creation's sake. There is a spot for our new found love of art yarns and experimental spinning, a section for new textiles, dyeing and fusing several of our crafts, and of course, a place for those beautiful works of art that are born of the wealth of talent available in our Guild.

Information for the exhibition is to be found here.

The Bi-ennial Exhibition 2010

The theme was Black & White, and Colour, and featured glorious items in black & white - with a splash of colour, made from natural fibres by our talented members. The exhibition was hosted at the Long Gallery, Salamanca Arts Centre, Hobart. We live in a world where colour represents so many things. This exhibition was a reflection of that world; a place of eye-popping contrasts and subtle shadings. Well done to all exhibiting and attending members.
