'Upstream of the Herd' The Coots Exhibition comes to an end
Saturday, 6th April 2013
From Jenny Tayler's colourful piece 'Rainbow Enigma'
After a very successful few weeks the exhibition by the COOTS collective is ending tomorrow.
Every day for the past 3 weeks, one of the artists has done 'duty' in the gallery. They have been speaking with visitors to the exhibition, sharing their expertise with the many people who have passed through. Some visitors have come back twice or even more to examine the works.
Jan Crawford, an artist from Queenstown, commented that she has thoroughly enjoyed the chance to chat with people and hear their lovely positive feedbaack. She has loved having the opportunity to talk about her techniques and has relished being able to share her knowledge with so many interested people. Visitors from different countries have often commented that similar fibre art is not given the gallery space it deserves in their home countries and the COOTS ladies are thrilled that they are able to exhibit their work in such a well visited gallery.
The COOTS ladies have been great company here in the museum & gallery and we will miss them arriving in the morning and having our chats throughout the day.
One of the artists, Angela Meecham from Lawrence, has a blog with some wonderful pictures of the art and artists at
