Annie Mackenzie
A weaver and spinner, Annie is also a gardener, occasional dyer, and the recipient of the Blumhardt foundation’s Dame Doreen’s Gift for 2024. After studying sculpture at the University of Canterbury, she learnt her craft through the New Zealand Woolcrafts Society of Spinners and Weavers Guilds. She celebrates the beauty of wool from fleece to yarn to cloth. Annie is based on Te Tai o Poutini, the West Coast and will teach drop spindle spinning, as well as her new rag rug workshop in 2025.
