Next Meeting: April 3rd, Stitch Morning and an afternoon talk with Jane Arthur

We are looking forward to a fabulous afternoon talk with Jane Arthur who is an artist working in mixed media, collage and textiles. She works with layers- fabric, paint and stitch to create a sense of place, memory or moment in time.


We still have one place left with Amanda Clayton who will be tutoring a three day workshop "A Little Book of Leaves", exploring hand stitch using the simplicity of leaves as imagery/inspiration. A simple folded book will be produced that exploits the transparent qualities of the cloth used. This 3-day workshop will cost £175(inclusive of kit).

Any one interested can contact GTAG by using the messages box at the side.

Next Meeting: March 20th, Stitch Day and Bondaweb Applique Workshop

 What a fabulous tutor we had at our last meeting. Tanya Bentham, the medieval couching specialist, came with a varied selection of  designs, fabric all stretched on frames and a wealth of home dyed wool. Each participant was given a stitching booklet, "Laid and Couched Work Stitch guide by Tanya Bentham" with comprehensive, clear, details and diagrams of  what Tanya patiently showed us during the course of the day. The photo below is the completed work from one of our members. What a superb piece of work and with so many stitches! Beautiful!
