Competitions 2022-23

Re-Purpose. Re-invent. Re-use

VIEW’s 60th Anniversary commemorative Tea Towel with its retro design in our purple & teal colours, was inspired by one the first VIEW brochures developed in the 60’s. The Tea Towel also represented a collection of women from various eras reminiscent of the graphics of dress making patterns.

Making and creating is all part of our lives. With COVID-19 stalling the sales of our 60th Tea Towels, at National Convention Adelaide 2022 we shared some examples of how to re-invent the ubiquitous... humble …Tea Towel... into something new…!

We now invite all VIEW Clubs and members to show us how creative and innovative you are... enter our new competition to up-cycle the VIEW 60th Tea Towel!
