March Talk and Workshop

In a change to our published programme, our talk on Friday 6 March will be by well-known textile artist, Linda Miller.

Linda's talk is titled 'In Stitches'.

The Birds Sing Out Your Name, Linda Miller

Linda makes one-off brightly-coloured machine embroideries, based on people, pets and birds doing their everyday things.  She promises an informative and delightful insight into her work - explaining how the pieces are made, the influences and stories behind them.

Catfish, Linda Miller

Visitors are always welcome to join us for talks.

Saturday 7 March: 'Creative Embellishments'

We are delighted to welcome back Hanny Newton for this one-day workshop. 

Hanny is a hand embroiderer with a great love of stitch, and a belief that embroidery, as with all art, should be about following your passion, not just following the rules. 

The workshop will be a day of exploring, creating and playing with the endless possibilities of beads and sequins!

Hanny will show you how to unleash your creative potential and come up with your own sequins and bead inventions. By the end of the day, you will have created a 'dictionary' of techniques and small stitched pieces which will enable you to push your creative limits in your work.
