Over eight weeks, the Fibre Makers Space at Brough House will host 15 creative workshops, perfect for beginners and textile experts alike to pick up a new skill and meet like-minded people.

Attendees can learn felting, weaving, quilting, embroidery, knitting, creative stitching, hand spinning, crochet and dyeing from the skilled tutors, who are all talented Hunter women.

The first workshop is on Wednesday, April 3 and coordinator Ellen Howell said autumn is the perfect time to work with fibre.

"We've found out the autumn workshops are the popular ones because people want to work with fibre in the autumn, not the summer or spring," she said.

"We've got seven tutors and we've got 15 workshops, and they're all of interest, there's make a patchwork baby's ball, there's everything from that to making small 3D sculptures."

The community loom that was donated during Ms Howell's 2022 artist residency is set up in the room for anyone who wants to try it.

Ms Howell said the calibre of tutors for the workshops is exceptional.

"We've got our artists in residence [Rebecca Muscat and Giselle Penn], we've also got Janet Steele, and she at the moment is teaching at the Embroiderer's Guild in Sydney, she's local from Paterson and she'll be teaching wrapping," she said.

"We've got Barbara [Osmond] who's doing spinning and art yarn, we've got Sharon O'Rourke who is a teacher and she's been stitching with her mother since she was three-years-old so the knowledge she's got is incredible.

"And Amanda Donohue from Lake Macquarie who herself has a very successful teaching and art practice, and she'll be doing felting and stitching."
