Artwork by local artists Annabel Tink, Carrie McKenzie, Jayne Nankivell, Jeanette Lambert, Mandy Tootell, Rachel Williams, Sharron Buzzo, Shirley Trembath and Sue Godwin were on show for the first time last night as part of the centre's newest exhibition K-Threads.
Many of the artists attended the cultural centre's first event of the year and were on hand to talk shop about their artwork.
The latest touring quilt show Australia Wide Six, running at the same time, featured work from Australian and overseas Ozquilt Network members.
Selected by internationally recognised textile artists, Kathleen Probst and Alison Muir, and curator Lynette Nilaweera, the exhibition demonstrates the scope and variety of stitched and layered textiles, exploring a diversity of themes, interpretations, styles, techniques and materials.
K-Threads will be on display until Saturday, February 29, and Australia Wide Six will end one week earlier on Saturday, February 22.
