School Holidays are nearly over so

 there's been lots of families calling in to 

The BACH to see the Tapestry Project.

 

 Sandra shows young Chloe, from Kamo

 how to weave on one of our mini-looms

with Mum watching from behind her.

 Chloe is 6 years old and attend Huripaka School.

 Chloe enjoys making things and her 

Mum said she does loom band bracelets. 

Dad is going to make Chloe her very own

 loom so she can practice weaving at home!

 Naoko has been working on the 

girl's hair and has finally completed it!

Congratulations Anita Moffat.
