Mirabel Oliver

A longtime lover of many craft practices, Mirabel is a textile artist who studied sculpture at the University of Canterbury. In 2025 she held an exhibition in which her traditional needlework pieces plied together the daily threads of art and life. Mirabel loves the domesticity of working with wool and fabric, seeing their inherent resourcefulness and beauty as an important feature of family life. In 2026, she will be teaching drop-spindle spinning, hand darning, felt-bowl making, patchwork, and her new swiss darning workshop, as well as hosting our mending club
