'In the Garden' Exhibition in Kendal..

Marilyn went to the 'In the Garden' Exhibition in Kendal...........

IFA Felting Exhibition at Signature Gallery - Kendal – August.

This small gallery is getting a reputation for its Textile Exhibitions. These are usually displayed in the upstairs gallery and those of you that are interested in felt are in for a treat if you visit this month.  Region 10 of The International Felt makers Association have their Exhibition ‘A Walk in the Garden’ on at the moment, which shows the versatility of felt. The items on display range from fine silky scarves through to thick hardwearing rugs with lots more items in between.  Waistcoats, hats, scarves and the most exquisite jacket, clocks, flowers, pictures and vessels are just a few of the items showing a variety of felting techniques. You will be amazed at the variety of work on display. One of my favourites was the reversible circular rug based on a Peacock feather. I came away inspired.


The Gallery is on the opposite side of the road to the Abbots Hall Car Park. Best approached from the South of Kendal.

Abbots Hall Art Gallery and Museum of Lakeland life and also the Kendal Museum are all worth a visit if you want to make a day of it, not to mention shopping!
Can recommend the Abbots Hall Cafe.
