SUMMARY:Mandy Nash - British Wool for Feltmaking
DESCRIPTION:Mandy will be talking about her book British Wool for Feltmaking\, showing samples from the book. \n\n\n\nMandy is primarily a jeweller\, however\, over the last twenty years\, she has been slowly introducing textiles into her practice and it has now become her main focus. Traditional and contemporary textiles have consistently been a major influence\, so the transition from creating colourful\, non precious jewellery to textiles is not a large step. \n\n\n\nMandy’s main technique is feltmaking\, which combines her three passions of colour\, pattern and process. Wool is a natural\, sustainable and versatile material that can be transformed into wonderful\, tactile objects. The different characteristics of the wide variety of sheep breeds offer endless possibilities to create both functional and nonfunctional pieces. she enjoys the challenge of transforming a flat material into a three dimensional form. \n\n\n\nMandy is involved in many craft groups and associations and is a regional co-ordinator and past Chair of the International Feltmakers Association. She is also a member of the Makers Guild in Wales\, the Association of Contemporary Jewellery\, the Society of Designer Craftsmen and of MaP\, a textile group.

SUMMARY:Sarah Madison - Stitching My way Through Life
DESCRIPTION:Stitch in all forms has been part of Sarah’s life since the age of 11\, thanks to the creative women around her; it’s been an enduring passion and has been her best friend through both good and stressful times. Travel with her from her first dress\, through quilts to what inspires me now in my mixed media textile work. \n\n\n\nSarah is predominately a textile artist\, but includes mixed media in her work. She learned creative embroidery skills with City and Guilds\, gaining a coveted Highly Commended at the end of the programme\, but has always taken a very fluid and organic approach to her work – no endless samples\, just getting stuck in\, working and letting it grow. \n\n\n\nSarah is always learning and trying to move in her own style and way – rules are there to be broken! \n\n\n\nSince completing her C&G Sarah has had successful solo exhibitions in Hampshire\, exhibited with group in Suffolk and has been a part of the wonderful Art Arcade crew at Folk East. Sarah now works alongside six other textile artists in a new group – The Alchemists’ Needle – who had their first show late last 2022.  \n\n\n\nSarah lives near the Hampshire/ Wiltshire border and is constantly inspired by the ancient landscapes around her and their spirituality.  she is mad about hares\, crows\, standing stones and Suffolk.

SUMMARY:Summer Workshop - Denim Pockets
DESCRIPTION:This is our first day coming together to work on something for the exhibition next year.  \n\n\n\nThe idea is that we all decorate a pocket from jeans or a jacket in any way we want; machine or hand stitch/print/distress/applique – you get the idea – which will give us the beginnings of a display for the exhibition.  \n\n\n\nWe can decide how to put them together at a later date.  \n\n\n\nPlease remember this is supposed to be fun; Ann will bring some denim pockets for anyone who doesn’t have one. \n\n\n\nIf you don’t want to do this\, please just come along and stitch whatever you are working on! \n\n\n\nAs we need to cover the cost of the hall there will be a £5.00 charge; payment button is in the Member Area of the website
