I have been flat out this week trying to finish my work for Kilkenny Arts Festival which opens next weekend. Most of my pieces are totally wet felted but a couple have some free machine embroidery to add surface detail, I know, I can’t believe I am actually writing that! The exhibition takes place in Grennan Mill Craft School, Thomastown and I am one of 6 individual artists who all have solo shows under one roof, the setting utilises the various floors of a wonderful grain mill poised on the banks of the river Nore. For anyone within striking distance of Thomastown please do call in during the exhibition and say hi, I will be envigilating on some days (not sure when yet) so if you are interested in meeting up please do email me in advance and I can let you know my schedual!!!
Felting and stitching …..
Apologies to those of you waiting for the final review of the new printing techniques I learnt at Felt in Focus, it is going to be a week or so before I can really relax and get stuck into writing posts properly!
Good morning,
Almost thought that I’d come to the wrong blog with the word “stitching” in the title and all that talk of free machine embroidery:-) Will wonders never cease? So exciting that your solo show is right around the corner. Be sure to take lots of pictures at the Exhibition…Can’t wait to see all of your new work.
Hugs,
Dawn
