Anne (from Victoria) and I sat beside each other and each wove on a section of the Community Tapestry at Leola's Studio. What fun! What great experience for me!
Leola's work started at an Archie Brennan workshop.
Leola's family in tapestry, again inspired by an Archie Brennan workshop.

Very fine weaving of linen and cottolin woven by one of Leola's customers. Leola's Studio features many dressed looms and you can walk into her studio and weave something over a few days. Lots of visitors to the area come and weave at the Studio.
