2011 Beanie Central and festival wrap- up

Thankyou to our beanie makers, musicians, soup providers and the numerous angels flitting around beanie central. Special thanks to all our supporters and the organisations who contributed to the event. An amazing time to seek the new and interesting in the head wear department, to be blown away by the creativity of our artists. We have proven that if we're given a theme, the possibilities are endless. We hope you enjoyed the cake, learnt a new skill, given a beanie a new home and had yourselves a good time.

 

School Design Project
This year several young people submitted dazzling designs of beanies, that graced our walls over the festival. Several were chosen and brought to actuality by the amazing and prolific Penny O'Neill. (pictured right) Thankyou to Penny, our Beanie Central artist in residence and all who participated in the project. Some of Penny's beanies are pictured below with the submitted designs..
