AN ENCHANTING botanical theme will blossom into life this weekend when the SpringDale Felters and Textile Artists showcase their talents at the Northern Bellarine Arts Trail.

The group will exhibit in the SpringDale Hall on Saturday (April 10) and Sunday (April 11) from 10am to 4pm.

The young and young-at-heart are certain to be captivated by the beautiful flowers, butterflies, birds and other creatures created by local felt and textile artists.

There will also be one-of-a-kind items for sale such as scarves, wraps, hats, bags, accessories and decorative items.

A ‘Fairy Village’ complete with lovely little felt fairy houses is also sure to delight little visitors to the exhibition.

Various felting and spinning demonstrations will also run on both days at the SpringDale Hall at 17-21 High Street, Drysdale.

More than 40 local artists will open up their studios and creative spaces across the Northern Bellarine Peninsula this weekend.
