Threadmill - How does your garden grow?
Over the last year we have all spent time enjoying nature with time to rediscover our own gardens, parks, countryside and wildlife.
For this exhibition Threadmill have created a feast of intricately stitched textile pieces. Impressions of flora and fauna are represented along with the rich colours and textures derived from the use of Nature’s raw materials. Personal inspiration has taken the group along traditional approaches to textile art intertwined with the innovative and experimental, encompassing and depicting nature in all its abundance across the seasons.
Threadmill, established 1995, is a group of 15 like-minded artists who have come from different creative textile disciplines.
We all share an enthusiasm for creativity while using textiles as our principal means of artistic expression. We work as a group agreeing a focus and setting targets. This way we aim to provide support to each individual while allowing each artist to develop and enhance their personal techniques. We are committed to the promotion of textiles as a decorative and expressive art form and work to increase awareness and education through our exhibitions and workshops.
