The Exhibition will open at 3pm and will be followed by mocktails.

It will showcase the talents and abilities of current and past residents of Laura Johnson Home and the Garden Villas.

Crocheted flowers, cross-stitch, knitting, embroidery, tapestry, painting, colouring and jigsaws will be showcased.

Laura Johnson Home CHSP Coordinator Barbara Dennis said this was the first time this kind of Exhibition has taken place at the Home.

"The idea sprang from a conversation between our Lifestyle Coordinator and a family member of a resident who mentioned that her mother-in-law had crocheted some beautiful items," Ms Dennis said.

"Consequently the concept of validating the social roles of residents in their former and current life situations seemed to fit with an Exhibition to showcase some of their wonderful skills and abilities.

"The artefacts for display range from delicate and finely knitted baby clothes and crocheted table linen, to ornamental pieces, paintings, colourful works of art and complex jigsaw puzzles," she said.

"It is a wonderful opportunity to display our residents talents to each other, our staff and the wider community."
