Campaspe Libraries invite you to enter your handiwork into ‘Wrapped for Winter’, a community exhibition featuring handmade shawls and scarves.
The exhibition to be held in June, will feature handmade shawls and scarves – wearable items to wrap around for winter warmth – using yarn or textiles that can be crocheted, knitted, sewn or embellished or using any other crafty technique.
Campaspe Shire Mayor, Cr Rob Amos said the exhibition was a great example of libraries being much more than just a place to borrow books.
“Libraries are increasingly multi-functional cultural hubs, where the community can meet to share interests and information.”
Entry is free and open now until Monday, 20 May. Submissions can be delivered to your closest Campaspe library branch or depot. The exhibition will be open to the public at the Echuca Library from Thursday,1 June until Sunday, 18 June.
Exhibition visitors will be invited to vote for People’s Choice awards, which will be presented in two categories, adult and under 18.
Once the exhibition is closed, entrants will have the option to donate their submission to the Echuca Moama Community Project’s ‘Coat and Blanket Drive’.
“This will be a fantastic opportunity to showcase your craft skills, while also helping those in need this winter,” Cr Amos said.
