ANOTHER COLOURFUL BIRD FOR OUR TREE

The tree at the Python Gallery is filling up.  Below is another bird to go on the tree next week.   If anyone else wants to make another bird that would be lovely.

PYTHON GALLERY EXHIBITON

Just a reminder our exhibition runs until 8th March 2019.   Make sure you visit and see the delightful pieces.  Linda D.

BEHIND THE SEAMS PRESTON PARK MUSEUM

There is a lovely exhibition on at Preston Park Museum until 3rd March 2019.   This explores the world of costume design - specifically Angels Costumes - the world's greatest costume house.

Angels have been providing costumes for stage and screen since 1840.

The costumes on show are from The Crown, Downton Abbey, Poldark, Titanic and lots of others.

Members of the museum are there, some in costume, and will give you lots of extra info about the costumes.

It is a beautiful exhibition in a wonderful setting.  Well worth seeing.  Linda D.

GALLERY PREVIEW WRITE UP NATURAL WORLD BY RANDOM STITCHERS

This was the review that Peter Heselton of Python Gallery sent out to publicise our exhibition.  I think it sums up very well what all our hard work has achieved in producing this exhibition.  Linda D.


The first exhibition in the New Year is the Natural World by Random Stitchers. 

This group show is an incredible, positive testament to the variety of techniques and applications of the creative possibilities that the medium of textiles can produce.

This show highlights the many techniques employed by each artist to question the subject of "The Natural World", including Felting, Applique, Stumping, Hand and Machine Embroidery and so much more.

It is an inspiring, diverse and engaging exhibiton.  It is also a brilliant beginning to an amazing new year of exhibitions which we hope that you will attend over the unfolding year.

Very best wishes, Peter Heselton.

PYTHON GALLERY OUR TREE OF BIRDS

We have a lovely tree full of very colourful birds as one of our collective pieces for the exhibition.
The birds were cut out in felt by Jane G. and then stitched by lots of branch members as a joint project.  Thank you to everyone who took part and especially to Jane for all her work.

Saturday's meeting

Our speaker this month is Janet Barker. Her talk is called 'Don't be Afraid to Experiment'.  Janet is a local textile artist inspired by our wonderful Yorkshire countryside. She describes herself as a 'fabric magpie' so I think we all will have something in common with her there!
Janet was booked to speak last year but we had to cancel because of bad weather. Fingers crossed for this Saturday.
The raffle colour for February is purple, from the palest lilac to the deepest plum.

SATURDAY 26TH JANUARY 2019

On Saturday afternoon we had a preview of our exhibition  Natural World by Random Stitchers in the Python Gallery in Middlesbrough.

The exhibition will be open until the 26th March.  Please do go along and see the wonderful pieces that are on show.
