South Coast Muster
The South Coast Fibre Muster is an exciting event to be staged at the Berry School of Arts, Alexandra Street, Berry on Saturday, 1 July from 9am to 4pm.
This is the inaugural South Coast Fibre Muster and will include Displays and Sales by ten spinning, weaving, knitting and felting groups from the South Coast Region. The plan is to hold this event annually, with different southern groups hosting the event each year!
There will be competitions, exhibitions, demonstrations and mini-workshops for everyone and fifteen traders selling materials and equipment for the fibre artist.
Entry to the event will be $2 per adult and children are free. Tea, coffee, soup and lunches will also be available in the Presbyterian Hall next door, and there is disabled access to both halls.

All entries must be handcrafted usung any technique and contain a minimum of 70% natural fibres. The competition is open to everyone, with great prizes for each section winner, as well as a Popular Choice Award.
