Leading up to the Out of Hand exhibition, Stitching and Beyond create a display of Tasmanian Flora for the Lightbox to help promote the exhibition.
Members have created leaves, flowers, seed pods and other items showing the beauty and diversity of our wonderful Tasmanian flora.
The items have been created from a variety of techniques, including stitching, weaving and felting and using a range of different textiles and fibres.
The exhibition is being supported by Hobart City Council and Salamanca Arts Centre.
