We met at Rheged for our informal meeting this month, to look at their current exhibition, WOW! Wonder of Wool.
It's a fascinating collection of work, some traditional, but mostly innovative, clever, witty pieces using this versatile material in all kinds of ways. Knitted benches, sculptural pieces, and my favourites, the knitted houses, representing the buildings where horrific poisonings took place!. The houses themselves are beautifully made, and it was quite a shock to read the details of what went on inside these addresses!
It was one of those bright, crisp, lovely days we get in Cumbria, if we are lucky, and it was really pleasant to relax over lunch after the exhibition.
No photographs allowed, I'm afraid, but this link will take you to the Wonder of Wool site, where you can get a glimpse of what is on offer.
We planned another visit, for today. We intended to meet in Carlisle at Tullie House for the 'Little Black Dress' exhibition. This time the weather defeated us,so maybe another time..................
