About Us

PWN members come from throughout New Zealand, with most working from home-based studios. They sell directly to the public, and through selected galleries. Many members exhibit work in their own exhibitions in New Zealand and overseas. Teaching is also an important activity for some of the members.

The group holds an annual seminar which provides a stimulating and exciting environment for members and an opportunity to share their knowledge, expertise and new developments within weaving and the fibre arts. Guest speakers are a regular feature.

Exhibitions are planned on a two- to three-year cycle. They are an opportunity for critics to evaluate contemporary functional weaving and fibre art works, and give the public the chance to enjoy and appreciate the work of the members.
