Margaret Chapman

Margaret lives in Laingholm on the edge of the Manukau Harbour, a place of changing moods and a constant source of inspiration for a creative practice which includes landscape design, textile design and the magic of making. Textile work is influenced by the richness of this bush environment – quilts, stitched works, cloth dolls, plant dyed fabric and small books full of texture and colour reflect the ever-changing visual landscape of the studio setting. Current work focuses on ‘waste not, want not’ through careful material selection whether gifted or accumulated, recycled or repurposed.

Thank you to all our sponsors

On behalf of the Franklin Arts Festival we would like to extend our gratitude to all our sponsors.
Without their generous patronage the Art Show would not take place.

As an event we depend on their support and in return we hope you can support them too.
