Auckland Felters are excited to be hosting our first group exhibition at the Franklin Arts Centre in Pukekohe from Tue 18th June until Mon 8th July 2024, titled:
Resilience – The Fibre That Connects Us
All of the pieces in our exhibition will include either wet- or needle-felted wool.
We will be holding a large “Celebration of Felt” open day on Saturday 22nd June that will include:

- Felting demonstrations throughout the day
- Traders supplying wool, other fibres, yarns and tools suitable for felting and other crafts.
- Hand-made, felted gifts, clothing, accessories, homewares and more!
- Live music
Always wanted to try felting? This is your chance – see you there!
There is lots of free parking at the back of the Franklin Arts Centre (accessible from Edinburgh St) and a lovely cafe too, why not make it a day out with friends and whanau?
