Exhibition in full swing

Leamington Embroiderers' exhibition 'Continuous Threads' continues at Arts Trail Gallery, Leamington until 29th August, open Tuesday to Saturday, 11 am - 5 pm (directions to the gallery can be found on the Arts Trail website).  

Here's a sample of some of the work on view.  

Our members are all ages and levels of skill - some are just beginners, while others have a wealth of experience to share.  Our regular talks and workshops are given by textile artists, who cover a broad range of topics and techniques, including hand and machine embroidery, mixed media, use of metals and non-traditional materials, to name just a few, and we are always keen to explore new ways of doing things.  We also have a thriving Junior Embroiderers Group, who meet monthly on a Saturday morning.

If you would like to see more of what we do and maybe get involved, why not come along to one of our Friday talks - details of when and where we meet are under the 'About our Branch' heading on the right.

(Please note: the exhibition closes on Saturday 29th August, 

not Sunday 30th as previously advertised.)

Mad Hatter's Tea Party

Thank you to everyone who came along on 1st August and celebrated National Stitch Day by making a card for the Mad Hatter's top hat, or if you just came to browse our 'Continuous Threads' exhibition on its opening day at Arts Trail Studios & Gallery.

People had a lot of fun delving into the stash of ribbons, trimmings, buttons, threads and lace to create a unique card - either to take home and use on a special gift, or to add to the growing collection adorning the Mad Hatter (aka gallery owner, Gerry Smith):

'Continuous Threads' is on until 29th August, open Tuesday to Saturday, 11 am - 5 pm 

(directions are on the Arts Trail website).  

Do drop in and have a look at our members' work if you are in the area - we would love to see you.
