Harrogate Creative Stitchers
Harrogate Creative Stitchers is an independent group of stitchers and textile art enthusiasts, which meets at the ‘Friends Meeting House’, 12a, Queens Parade, Harrogate, HG1 5PP, usually on the second Saturday of each month. Doors open at 10.00am for a ‘Stitch and Chat’, then between 2.00pm – 4.00pm we have an expert speaker or demonstration.
We also meet on the last Tuesday of each month, for an informal meeting of sewing, coffee and a chat, in the coffee shop at the Everyman Cinema, ‘Westgate House’, Station Parade, Harrogate, HG1 1HQ at 10am until noon.
At our next meeting on April 12th, Beverley Saville will talk about her journey to become a textile artist, the experiences which have inspired her and the joy she finds working with stitch and cloth. Beverley will discuss how she developed her techniques, the materials she uses and the skills she finds useful. She will finish with an overview of the way she makes her textile pictures and a look at a selection of her work. Beverley will be happy to answer questions and share all aspects of her practice. The talk will be accompanied by pictures of her work and she will also bring along lots of examples for you to see.
Date for your diaries; on May 10th Alex Hall will describe and discuss how she records special memories in creative ways, specifically through textiles, and the different ways she uses book making, embroidery and other forms of stitching to record events such as family holidays and visits.
Everyone welcome!!
