I’ve checked my records and realised I’ve yet to share with you some of the images from the brilliant Stitch by Stitch 2023 exhibition.
‘Stitch by Stitch Textile Collective’ – “An exhibition for established and emerging textile artists working with stitch, fabric and mixed media” – held at the Willow Gallery, 56 Willow Street, Oswestry, SY11 1AD; Saturday 1st July – Saturday 19th August 2023.
Following an invitation from curators Suzette Smart and Alison Holt, Sylko Addict was selected to be part of this prestigious exhibition.
The exhibition included art from many high profile UK textile artists including Jan Beaney, Jean Littlejohn, Christine Kelly of Gentlework, Vivienne Beaumont, Emily Tull, Fiona Gill plus many more. An online gallery of the artworks is available here.
Meet the Artists: Catherine Hill & Vivienne Beaumont
On the 15th July 2023, Vivienne and I took part in a Meet the Artist event at the exhibition.
It was a perfect space to meet and chat to visitors and to share our creative journeys with them. Most of the visitors were embroiderers who asked questions about our process and our choices of materials.
Embroidery Magazine – July / August 2023
I’m delighted that there is an article about the exhibition in Embroidery Magazine – July / August 2023. This wonderful article is written by textile artist Ailish Henderson and shares several pieces selected for exhibition – including Sylko Addict.
The article also shares work by textile artists Suzette Smart, Jane Sanders, Alison Holt and Pauline Kiernan.
Thank you to Ailish Henderson for your kind words about my work.
