ABOUT

Meet the Team

Meet my staff, who are affectionately known as the "Calico" girls

We choose to have a great time together and hope when you visit, you too will share in our fun.

anthea carboni

anthea carboni

anthea is our girl of many hats.  She plays counter girl, teaches classes aimed to encourage freedom of interpretation whilst learning technique in all elements of textile and fibre and is the face behind the yuniko range of product, which you will see with increasing presence within 'calico's' walls.

anthea is a super talent, who finds a use for most of our recyclable's and takes them to a new level with her very identifiable creative bent.

jane slaughter

jane has been a friend and one of my few students (I am not that comfortable in the role as teacher) for many years now.  She chose to attend a 'beginners' quilting class I was teaching whilst working at jan mullen's studio, and I still believe she taught me more than I taught her.  Nevertheless we had a great time, and formed an immediate bond.

how lucky am I that both jane and lynn are happy to commute from mandurah to help me in the shop.
