October's Meeting
Our October workshop at Grassington Embroiderers' Guild, with tutor Hayley Mills Styles, a Yorkshire based artist, was a day of incorporating traditional embroidery with "found items".
A contemporary piece of textile art was produced by using a calico base fabric, and attaching nuts, bolts, beads, plastic and a myriad of found items with stitch.
Hayley was extremely generous with individual tuition and allowing access to her interesting collection of attachable items! Although each piece was started with an identical piece of calico, the finished items were so diverse! It was an excellent day that was enjoyed by all those that attended.
