Welcome to Silk & Threads . . .

 

COLLEEN at Silk & Threads would like to wish you and your families greetings for Christmas and the Holiday Season.

I will be available during January for orders.Summer School classes held at studio during January.

Thank you for your continued support throughout 2011.

It has been another successful year and I am so lucky to have such a challenging and enjoyable way of life. So many familiar customers over the years and always so good to hear what you are doing and my many students who give me pleasure seeing them express their creativity while learning new skills.

This year we said goodbye to Grafton Artsfest and Melrose Winter School – many years of great classes. Look forward to new opportunities next year.

The production of Dupont dyes moved to Belgium earlier this year with new owners and I am pleased to say while there are a few changes the quality of the dyes is as good as ever.

The Gallery Mt Macedon continues to offer great local art and you can always see our handcrafted textiles, wearables and wall hangings. We are open Friday – Tuesday 10.00-4.00.
