Following the success of the inaugural event in 2023, Campaspe Libraries invite you to enter your handiwork into this year’s ‘Wrapped for Winter’ community exhibition.
The exhibition to be held from May through to July, will feature handmade shawls and scarves – wearable items to wrap around you for winter warmth – using yarn or textiles that can be crocheted, knitted, sewn or embellished or using any other crafty technique.
Campaspe Shire Mayor Rob Amos said it was a wonderful opportunity for the large amount of talented crafts-people in Campaspe to showcase their handiwork.
“There were some absolutely incredible pieces submitted last year so I am excited to see what’s in store for the 2024 exhibition.”
Entry is free and open now until Monday, 6 May. Submissions can be delivered to your closest Campaspe library branch or depot. The exhibition will be open to the public at the various library locations during May, June and July.
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 closes, entrants will have the option to donate their submission to the Echuca Moama Community Project’s ‘Coat and Blanket Drive’.
“This is a great opportunity to help those in need this winter while doing something you enjoy,” Mayor Amos said.
