Warkworth’s historic scow Jane Gifford was the inspiration behind the supreme award winning design for Catwalk Arts 2017 held at Mahurangi College last month.
The winning entry Mahurangi River Queen was created by Pamela Illingworth and Heather Woodcock.
Flax was processed through a pasta maker then dyed and dried to make the skirt, which represented the Mahurangi River. Hessian and dyed feathers were crafted to make the wings and hull.
This year’s fundraising event for Warkworth Wellsford Hospice and Mahurangi College attracted almost 40 entries – some spectacular, some humorous, some elegant and some all of the above.
It’s six years since the last Catwalk Arts show and organisers were thrilled to see a mix of new and familiar designers.
The wearable arts show, which was held on October 13 and 14, raised about $11,000.
