I shall be exhibiting at the West Country Quilt and Textile Show which takes place on 12th, 13th and 14th November.
I am sharing a gallery space with my friend Christine Seager and our gallery is entitled "Perspectives". Do come and see us. I had a lovely two days last week on a workshop with textual artist/calligrapher Simon Sonsino.
It was arranged by my friend Sandra from Threaded Together (a group of textile artists to which I belong). There were five of us, which is one more than Simon usually takes. I stayed overnight and had dinner with a friend Marion, also from Threaded Together, which made the whole trip really nice. Simon has a lovely house near Newbury (very near Highclere of Downton fame). The studio is light and cosy with a tiny wood-burning stove. We were not there for serious calligraphy but lots of textual exercises with a view to making artworks or, possibly, combining with textiles at a later date. I think we all came away with ideas. Simon is a very good teacher and made it all fun. Incidentally he is also a good cook and the cakes were great! I have been working on more monochrome pieces. Occasionally it seems right to add just a little touch of colour (red) in one area. These are in the domestic pieces.
