Community Project Tapestry Master, Spinner and Weaver 

Beverley Compter brought in her Spinning Wheel today

 Her intentions? To teach Naoko and The BACH

 Saturday staff (Briar and Julia) how to spin.

 Beverley made it look SO EASY!!

  Meanwhile, Kirralee and Anja Brown from 

Tutukaka had a go weaving on the mini-looms

Kirralee is 6 years old...

 ...and her sister Anja is 8. Both girls played netball

 this morning and with their Mum and Dad.

 Naoko tries spinning under the 

watchful eye of Beverley.

 Beverley was SO patient with us!

 I couldn't get mine to "grab" ...

 ...and it ended up twisting REAL GOOD..haha!

 I have a whole new appreciation for 

spinning but not going to give up!

Cathy, from Onerahi has done tapestry weaving

and so she worked on a more challenging area 

where two colours are woven concurrently.
