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:Karen Lane - My F-Plan Diet...Fabric\, Fibre & Felting (Zoom Meeting: On-line only)
DESCRIPTION:An illustrated journey from first discovering in 2014 that feltmaking and textile art were an actual ‘thing’\, through to the present day. Viewers will see lots of examples of Karen’s work and she will share many of the materials and techniques that her use.   \n\n\n\nKaren’s background is in Visual Merchandising/Display and Adult Training. Whilst running local craft workshops for adults with special needs in 2014 she discovered felt making and textile art. These two disciplines went on to develop side by side. Karen joined three local textile groups and began experimenting with fabric and stitch. That same year she saw the fabulous exhibition Black Sheep: The Darker Side of Felt which set her on a mission to learn all she could about Feltmaking. \n\n\n\nAs a result of her work touring with Grosvenor Shows she began to receive requests for workshops and in 2016 began teaching Textile Art & Feltmaking for groups and individuals. In 2019 Karen was invited to teach at the Quilters Guild AGM and that same year was a guest tutor at Sweet Nothings Retreat in Saint-Vallier. \n\n\n\nWith the worst of the pandemic over (fingers tightly crossed!) she will be returning to Sweet Nothings in September 2022. Previous exhibitions include the NEC\, Manchester\, Harrogate\, Oundle\, Corby Glen\, Lincoln and Karen is a regular at The Big Textile Show in Leicester.

SUMMARY:Jennifer Thompson & Lynne Harper from the Spinning & Weaving Guild
DESCRIPTION:Jenn and Lynne have been friends for over 40 years\, both with an interest in many crafts. Jennifer’s love of craft started with knitting at a very young age\, and when older she worked through City and Guilds\, and also has a HNC in Stitched textiles.  Lynne’s interest has developed with less formal training\, starting at around 8 with a love of embroidery\, but with an early interest in weaving which did not develop far until much later. In some areas\, for example Bobbin Lace and Tatting\, they have extended their skills together. This was the case when eight years ago they started to learn to spin\, and soon after to weave. \n\n\n\nSince then they have become enthusiastic exponents of both skills. They are active members of the Kennet Valley Guild of Weavers\, Spinners and Dyers\, and take part in demonstrations to the public during various shows\, and also take part in the bi-annual KVGWSD exhibition. \n\n\n\nThe results of their spinning and weaving can be seen to link back to their earlier interests in textile crafts\, and include a wide range of techniques.

SUMMARY:Kirstie McLeod - The Red Dress Project
DESCRIPTION:The Red Dress Project is an award winning global collaborative embroidery project centred around a red silk dress. It is a platform for women’s voices to be shared and heard\, uniting people from around the world without borders and boundaries.  \n\n\n\nOver 12 years (2009 to 2021)\, pieces of the Red Dress have travelled the globe being continuously embroidered on. Constructed out of 73 pieces of burgundy silk dupion\, the garment has been worked on by 239 women and 5 men from 28 countries\, with all 136 commissioned artisans paid for their work. The rest of the embroidery was added by 108 willing participants/audience at various groups/exhibitions/events. Many of the artisans are established embroiderers\, but there are also many pieces created by first time embroiderers.  \n\n\n\nThe artisans were encouraged to tell a personal story they would like to share\, expressing their own identities and adding their own cultural and traditional experience. \n\n\n\nKirstie has worked as a Textile artist for 16 years\, and on the Red Dress for the last 12. What began as a sketch on the back of a napkin in 2009\, has grown into a global collaborative project involving hundreds of people all over the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note that this will be a ticket only event\, with all members of Textiles and Stitch Around Marlborough being automatically allocated a ticket.
