Adrienne Kneebone
Fibre Artist
The ability to stay with what is, and in the moment, is the saviour of the mother and the artist.
Bio

She has a lot of skills, knowledge and stories telling to share and finds enjoyment in the atmosphere of a weaving group. Her skills range from basket twining , to native grass coiling and cobbling through to bush toy making.
