MAY MEETING

Image
This was our last meeting at Gracious Street Methodist Church Hall when we had a day with Catherine Chew consulting with work on Calico Gardens.  Most members were involved in this workshop when we were shown how to add padding and depth to our work by Catherine, using cardboard, felt and old tights(washed of course). We also looked at new stitched which we had not used before Spanish knotted stitch being one of them. We all had a spare hoop to practice our new stitches before adding to our gardens. Trial stitches. After a few weeks work, not completed yet, hope to do so by the exhibition. Our next meeting will be at Bilton Community Centre in Harrogate on 9 June from 1 until 4.30.  See you there.

OUR FIRST POST

Creative Adventures with Textiles Group has now been meeting since June 2016.  We are at present a small group of people who enjoy all aspects of textile work, sharing our skills within the group.  Our skills are varied and range from members who are beginning to learn new skills to a number of members who have gained City and Guilds Diploma in Embroidery and Design. We meet on a monthly basis on the fourth Saturday of each month, at present for 4 hours in the afternoon but hope to increase these hours to six, extra hours will help when workshops are being run meaning members will have more opportunity to complete the items they are working with. Gracious Street Church Hall is our meeting venue, using the Dales Room on the first floor. We have had a dye workshop at Clifton, Otley village Hall, which was very successful members going home with lots of colorful fabrics and threads. A few examples of the dye day.
