Research under way

Research is under way for the history of the dozen buildings which feature on the Millicent Community Tapestry.

Woven in wool, it has had pride of place at the Millicent Public Library for over 35 years.

The tapestry was commissioned to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the colonisation of South Australia in 1986.

Facilitators Kay Lawrence and Shirley Benlow wanted to allow time for a high degree of professionalism to develop in the work and so decided to run the program as monthly weekend workshops.

Sixty people initially expressed interest.

As with most projects of this kind the degree of involvement by individuals varied but, even so, a strong and highly involved core of 20 weavers continued throughout.
