TSG Forthcoming Events Page

Welcome to the Sampler Guild 'Forthcoming Events' page. The Sampler Guild has a constantly changing programme of events such as 'Meet-ups' (attending exhibitions, classes etc. as a group) and 'Get togethers' (meeting at TSG member's houses) throughout the year, across the U.K. and sometimes abroad. If you are thinking of arranging a 'Get together' or 'Meet-up' in your area, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can notify other TSG members. See the bottom of this page for more information.

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.

Please feel free to spread the word to your friends, local stitch groups and guilds.

----------------------------------------------------------

Please note! 'Meet-ups' and 'Get togethers' are exactly that - they are an informal way of getting TSG members to meet each other.
'Meet ups' take place to view exhibitions or specific events and 'Get togethers' take place at a TSG members house (usually on a Saturday) and involve 'show 'n' tell', helping each other, and lots of friendship and fun! 'Meet-ups'are usually free - except for admission charges where applicable. For' Get togethers', members normally bring a plate, i.e. a food dish - usually dessert...

All TSG members are always welcome - just let Linda know if you wish to come along and she will give you the details.
