NORFOLK GIRL DARNING SAMPLERS Norfolk Needlearts are to give a presentation
on Norfolk Girl darning samplers. This is going to be a most
intriguing presentation. Wednesday 11th September 2024 at 7.30 pm UK time. TSG members are invited and presentation will be free. Should you not be a TSG member and wish to view the presentation , there will be a fee of £5, which will be donated to the Quaker Museum, Cumbria for their sampler fundraising appeal. That's the bones of the information. Venue - Magna Science Centre, Rotherham. THE DECEIVED EYE Special Exhibition - The Deceived Eye - Textile Effects and their Simulation. The illusionistic depiction of textiles was an expression of consummate artistry even in ancient painting. The same can be said of weaving, tapestry and embroidery, in which other textiles are simulated with great skill. Examples from the fourth to the seventeenth centuries vividly illustrate their artful play of materials, techniques and the viewer's expectations. The Exhibition runs from 28/04/24 to 10/11/24 and is open daily from 2.00 pm until 5.30 pm. Please check for weekend opening. Please feel free to spread the word to your friends, local stitch groups and guilds. TSG STUDY GROUP RETREAT Please find below information regarding the TSG Study Group Retreat to be held at the Bowden Hall Hotel, Upton St. Leonards, GL4 8ED. The retreat will run in the Congress Suite, from 2.00 pm on Friday 28th February to 4.00 pm Sunday 2nd March 2025. It will be an informal, informative and thought provoking weekend. It will be based around studying samplers that we will have on display throughout the weekend, and also samplers that you would like to bring along to discuss with other group members. The weekend will consist of a couple of sampler talks on the Saturday and Sunday, and Loetitia from Korry’s Little shop, will be teaching and giving demonstrations into twisting silk and some stitch techniques. Kits will be provided. There will be a few surprises along the way too. We will have access to a laptop for research and you are more than welcome to bring your own laptop along. We will have available to us a screen for Powerpoint presentations, note pads and a flipchart. There will be sampler books and catalogues for viewing and research purposes. White cotton gloves and a magnifying glasses will be available for use throughout the weekend. Bring your stitching and work on a project or two whilst all this is happening around you. Please email linda@thesamplerguild.co.uk for more information or to book a place. ---------------------------------------------------------- Please note!
'Meet-ups' and 'Get
togethers' are exactly that - they are an informal way of getting
TSG members to meet each other. All TSG members are always welcome - just let Linda know if you wish to come along and she will give you the details. |
