Special Exhibition of Gerda Gamper's woven rugs
🐑 Barraba Fuller Gallery and Clay Pan - Warm and Woolly Exhibition & Tree Bombing Display is on again over the Long Weekend 6th – 9th JUNE. 🐑🐑
A special feature this year will be a display by Guild Member, Gerda Gamper of her hand woven alpaca and lama rugs, wall hangings and hand spun knitted garments.
Weaving and spinning are passions of Gerda’s and she has her own loom set up in the little shed in her back yard. She learnt how to weave at workshops at the Barraba Clay Pan. The rugs are made from natural coloured fibres, varying from white, black and a wide range of browns. There is no dying involved. It takes on average 4 to 6 weeks to weave a rug or wall hanging.

Take some time out to relax in front of the fire and enjoy some homemade refreshments whilst looking at the exhibition.
