Tracey-Mae Chambers will be at the museum installing one of her weaving pieces of art. She will decide once she arrives next Friday morning where she will actually do the weavings – could be inside or outside, and that is one of the interesting things about her work.
Everyone is welcome to come and watch her create her work.
Our talented local artisans have once again made a generous contribution to the community! Many thanks to Diane Gallupe for the beautiful work of art. Buy your tickets to own this masterpiece.
Behind the local artisan was the creator of this pattern.
