| Introduction | The World Shibori Network Australia and New Zealand (WSN A/NZ) was formed in 2004 by Yoshiko I. Wada, President of the World Shibori Network(WSN). The goal given to the network by Yoshiko I. Wada was to empower and support shibori artists in Australia and New Zealand and to evaluate or promote the art of shibori and to educate the public in the art of shibori. Joan James, Secretary General World Shibori Network Australia and New Zealand |
| Interests | As a group we have achieved this goal by the "Australia Naturally" exhibition, which opened in Paris in 2008, as part of the International Shibori Symposium (ISS08)and has been travelling Australia since. The latest exhibition SCARF - contemporary shaped resist dyed scarves, shawls and wraps - is currently touring Australia. It was opened at Barometer Gallery, Paddington, N.S.W., Australia by Yoshiko I.Wada, travelled to Gallery 159 in Brisbane, Queensland and then to Strathnairn Homestead Gallery, in the Australian Capital Territory. From there it will go to a gallery attached to the WOW Museum in Nelson, New Zealand. |
