The Creative Mind


'Am amazed at what the creative mind can come up with'  !!

This was one of the many lovely comments written in our visitors book at BUXTON MUSEUM and ART GALLERY, in response to our current exhibition, 'Mark in Stitch'.  The exhibition is upstairs in the main gallery - there is a stair lift - and there are cards for sale in the shop downstairs.

As textile artists we all have a passion for stitch. This has been the starting point for many of us but as the exhibition shows we have extended our interests, incorporating different media and techniques well beyond the traditions of embroidery.  Surfaces are painted and manipulated, photographs worked like fabric, hand made paper stacked and laminated, found objects made precious and who would have believed the domestic printer could print on fabric and beyond the normal A4!!  Many, many inspirational ideas, just call in and see!!

The exhibition closes on November 12th but you can meet some of us on
THURSDAY, 27th OCTOBER, 2-4pm when we are having another Meet the Artist Day.
