The exhibition is the first of its kind in NZ, showcasing the work of weavers from Aotearoa NZ, Australia and America.

The exhibition will be a weaving together of people, materials and styles...coming together in the Aorere Valley, Golden  Bay 

This basketry art exhibition connects the threads of our local Collingwood heritage, with the Australian and American heritage of our visiting artists and tutors, weaving together human stories and portals with the clouds, river, mountains and the song of life.

Exhibits were from 10 weavers, Nicola Basham, Bronwynn Billens, Ruth Castle, Jasmine Clark, Zimmi Forest, Sarah Hornibrooke, Anita Peters, Deb Price, Willa |Rogers, Judy Zugish.

Willow Sculpture "The View From Here"

A special woven willow sculpture was created on site for Zatori by international weavers Ann McMahon, Zimmi Forest and Judy Zugish together with Nicola Basham.  600 rods of local willow were used in the piece.  The portal looks through to the town on Collingwood by day, and the Farewell Spit Lighthouse by night.
