'from out of the blue studio gallery' is a boutique gallery specialising in all things Fibre. We are committed to showcasing the best of both New Zealand and overseas fibre artists across a wide variety of expressions. The studio gallery also houses Viv's own making spaces which include large floor and tapestry looms. There is a 6 weekly rotation for all exhibitions allowing for invited solo exhibitions and juried shows that are themed.  This makes sure there is always something fresh to view.
