The Southern Hemisphere Feltmakers Convergence


The Convergence is in full swing at Beechworth, Victoria Australia! We have over 100 delegates from across Australia and New Zealand. Here are three prominent feltmakers from the State of Victoria - Kitty Chung O'Kane, wearing a top made from a recycled tablecloth plus handmade felt. Kitty is an amazing evening wear designer. Della Jones is in the middle wearing her own felted and dyed pieces. She's a wiz at natural shibori dyeing and feltmaking. Then, wearing a hat by Anna Ashton is Robyn Steel-Stickland, author of the Penguin book "Felt" and president of Victorian Feltmakers as well as the convenor of the convergence.
