The Oamaru Textile Exchange was set up in Oct 2007 to provide a retail outlet for local artists and crafts people to sell the items that they make.
The Oamaru Textile Exchange now has 14 members and the shop is a colourful display of most crafts of a textile nature; spinning, weaving, felting, quilting, cloth dolls, knitting, crocheting, embroidered art, dyeing and sewing.
It is a wow experience for anyone interested in the textile trades or arts and there is usually someone on site demonstrating their particular skill or talent.
