About Minerva

Minerva Textile Group was formed in 2011 and had its first exhibition in 2012. The original membership had attended workshops at Craft Arena and has evolved over the past 5 years. Membership is now by invitation.

Exhibitions are held at Gallery 50, Craft Arena in September each year.

This blog will show you how our work has developed over the years, and will feature work from our current, past and up-coming exhibitions.

Members in 2012 were:
Denise Gannon

Apart from general pictures, I can only find my own work. I suspect they are sitting on an SD card somewhere. One of the drawbacks of digital!




On the Wing - flight in the natural world

Inspiration could be taken from anything from birds to butterflies; figurative or abstract.

Venetian Fantasy - Masks

We could make our own mask or use a former. Any technique could be used.
