And today it feels like Autumn.
Have you seen.................
I have just bought this wonderful book, and have spent hours poring over it.
It's a mixture of carefully-researched information about Early English textiles, beautiful photography, and examples of Jan Messent's own interpretation of techniques and stitches. I thought I'd read it all, at one point, but in fact, every time I go back to it, I find bits I've missed. Not a 'How to..' book, exactly. but it does have plenty of ideas and inspiration .
Time to look forward to lots of sewing, and some workshops to inspire. Our AGM is next Thursday, back at the Friends' Meeting House, and will be followed by Sally's workshop on Macclesfield buttons.
I have been asked to publicise this exhibition at The Drumcroon Gallery in Wigan
A Fine Line: Audrey Walker and Bob White
Thoughts on drawing, narratives, cloth and the processes of making.
The first combined exhibition of work by two influential artists and art educators.
Trained at the Slade in the immediate post-war period, drawing has been fundamental to their practice for over six decades. "It's something that's just a part of you; a process of thinking; of becoming continuously."
