First exhibition of 2016

       

 

 

Happy New Year. To start 2016 we have a colourful collection of contemporary textile artists. Two quilters from the USA, Sidnee Snell and Ann Brauer illustrate how two artists can treat the medium of quilting very differently both in their technique and subject matter. It’s fascinating to see the depth and variation that can be achieved through colour and fabric. Check out a great clip of Sidnee at work on Oregon Art Beat  www.opb.org/television/programs/artbeat/segment/quilter-sidnee-snell

Australian tapestry artist Diana Wood Conroy incorporates her love and study of history into her work. Her long career links, weaving, writing and teaching and her experience and knowledge is evident in both her tapestries and her recent collaboration on the recently published Handbook of Textile Culture by Bloomsbury.
