Contemporary Threads Update

The show might be over at The Wee Gallery, but I thought I'd just pop in a mention received in the Southern Reporter (with names!!) from last week.

And remember theres still plenty going on throughout June too, including what should be an amazing exhibition and catwalk show taking place at the Dovecot Studio in Edinburgh featuring work by Heriot-Watt Textile and Fashion Students and curated by Mark Eley (Eley Kishimoto). Check out www.tex.hw.ac.uk or www.dundee.ac.uk/djcad/cfs/ for more info on what other exciting events are planned throughout Scotland.

Contemporary Threads Update

The exhibition Contemporary Threads has opened in Kelso at the Wee Gallery and here's a sneaky peek inside of what's on show (to admire and to buy). The show includes work by myself including table runners, napkins, placemats and cushions, along with a larger piece of work 'Chinese Junks' which can be seen on the left hand side of the image above. Other artists on show include Valerie A Graves with her beautiful and tactile felted pods, wall-hangings and of course some cute felted hares thrown in for good measure. Lindsay Roberts hand spins her own yarns and then uses them within her collage works to create magnificent multi layered wall pieces.

I seem to have dropped off the blogging radar over the past few weeks, it's been a very busy time for me. I'm off to London next week for a meeting about New Designers so hopefully I'll be able to let on more about that on my return.

Contemporary Threads, The Wee Gallery, Kelso

Craft Festival Scotland is running throughout May and June 2010 all around Scotland showcasing some of the finest craftmanship in these parts and I'm taking part! Throughout May I will be exhibiting and selling work from The Wee Gallrery in Kelso with two other fine textile designer-makers Valerie Graves and Lynsey Roberts. The show is called Contemporary Threads and will run from the 4th May until 29th May and it's free to pop in and have a look round. Check out www.dundee.ac.uk/craftfest/ or www.weegallerykelso.co.uk for more information. Look forward to seeing you there!

Other events you should definately check out are the Heriot-Watt University School of Textiles and Design Degree Show from 1st-5th June, from the looks of it there is going to be some fantastic work on show. Check out www.tex.hw.ac.uk for more information.
