Next Meeting: Wednesday Aug 17th - Stitch Day in the open air

 The last GTAG meeting of the 2021/22 programme will be a stitch morning and picnic in the open air! This will take place in the National Parks Car Park in our usual position under the tree with the beautiful view. I will be posting the 2022/23 programme any day now, so watch this space. 

Aug 3rd - Joanne Frankel Workshop

 Joanne's textile art specialized in combining drawing and painting with hand and free machine embroidery. A design drawn on paper was free machined onto a base fabric.


 
This was then painted.


Fabric was appliqued onto the painted design and completed by machine embroidery.


This piece then has to be hand embellished.

Joanne's work as shown below is truly inspirational. She is a wonderful teacher and was willing to share so many of her ideas and expertise with us. The workshop was a fabulous day and we learnt so much from her calm and attentive teaching method. A big thank you from all of us here at GTAG (Grassington Textile Arts Group).
