Stephanie Collin Hand Woven Portraits
Warped Art and DesignStephenie set up a home studio and lived with her two children in the old miners cottage in Lillis Lane during the 1990's. She now works from her studio in Waiuku, and lives on the Awhitu Peninsula.
She has been weaving since 1987 and has a specific interest in tapestry weaving. Visitors are invited to come and see how the fibre is made and try their hand at spinning the raw materials. There will also be looms set up for you to have a go yourself.
