We are held; woven together by the threads of life and we wear our \u2018threads\u2019 with pride. From the woven to the felted, knotted, knitted, stitched or carved- the medium of fibre takes many forms. Most fibre comes from the natural environment and has over millennia been transformed by humans into items that we use to carry, contain, clothe and decorate ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural and manmade fibres come in a variety of forms and once again the fabulous works from the fibre artists and artisans who exhibit in this annual fiesta of fibre at Blue Knob Hall Gallery have proven that we can\u2019t live without it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the Lismore Women\u2019s Festival, the Mariam\u2019s Day gathering at the beginning of March created a Wheel of Peace. With the theme of Weaving Traditions and Lives together, thread, fabric and paper were woven through the wheel with thoughts on the many ways to support Peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wheel of Peace is being exhibited at the Gallery during this exhibition and adds a very welcome dimension to our understanding of our own world and the ability of a humble piece of cloth to carry a message of utmost importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
