Many different fibres can be spun, such as wool, silk, cotton and synthetics.

About fifteen years ago, Lyn expanded her skillset and took up weaving.

Weaving is the interlacing of two sets of threads or yarns at right angles.

The lengthwise yarns are called the ‘warp’ and the crosswise ones are called the ‘weft’.

Lyn has three weaving looms, her favourite being a Louet floor model from Holland.

A member of the Port Stephens Community Arts Centre for almost three decades, Lyn’s work is currently being featured at the gallery in Nelson Bay.

Current exhibitions

Aside from Lyn’s featured work, two exciting exhibitions are also on display at the gallery until 1 October.

‘Our Great Outdoors’ showcases stunning works by local painters, capturing the beauty of Port Stephens’ natural environment.

Featuring landscapes, seascapes and wildlife, this exhibition invites viewers to experience the diverse and breathtaking scenery through the eyes of locally-based artists.

Also on display is ‘Fusion’, featuring an array of creative textiles designed to hang on walls.

Showcasing innovative fabric art, this display highlights the artistic talents of local textile artists, transforming fabric into captivating wall pieces that blend tradition with contemporary creativity.

Admission to the gallery is free.

The Port Stephens Community Arts Centre is on Shoal Bay Road, Nelson Bay (near Nelson Bay Diggers).
