Preservation explores artists' concepts of the theme.

Intriguing use of fibre and mixed media define this contemporary display of ATASDA members' expressive textile wall hangings, 3D objects and wearable art which interpret the theme Preservation in various ways. Working with diverse art practices, techniques and materials, more than forty ATASDA members have created a rich tapestry of textile artworks employing fibre, weaving, felting, dyeing, printing, traditional and contemporary embroidery, and stitch techniques.

Calligraphers and Papermakers use writing and handmade paper as an art form, revealing diversity of creative concepts and practices overlaying their skills and knowledge.

Handcrafted items, wearables, gifts and handmade cards for sale.

Jointly presented by ATASDA (The Australian Textiles And Surface Design Association), PPA (Primrose Paper Arts) and ASOC (The Australin Society of Calligraphers)
