Thursday 13 January 2022 7.00pm - Isobel Moore
"The Dirty Dozen"
This meeting will be on ZOOM
Isobel Moore is a textile artist and tutor from Sussex. She loves colour, recycled textiles, and her sewing machines. Teaching machine embroidery for over ten years, she’s heard it all: “I need a new sewing machine” and “I think I need to get some more fabric”, not to mention that old classic “my machine doesn’t like that”. This is Isobel’s top 12 list of things she’s heard throughout the years: the Dirty Dozen! Things we’ve all said, but really (really) shouldn’t!

Saturday 17th September 2022 2pm Maria Boyle
Lichen - exploring colour, texture and mark
Maria is a contemporary artist inspired by colour and texture. Often working with the 'soft materials' of cloth, wool and thread and typically using natural and textured fibres. These are carefully hand dyed, hand printed or painted and then manipulated with hand stitch and knit to create tactile one-off pieces. Colour is essential to convey meaning through a harmonious colour palette that adds to its sensory appeal.
