March Speaker

Our speaker for our meeting on the 4th March at 2pm is Jane Stock.  Her talk is entitled "The History, Traditions and Techniques of Japanese Boro". 

Jane enjoys working with a range of fabrics and media but she is particularly drawn to materials and textiles that have had a previous life and show signs of wear and repair.

She uses different processes including hand stitch, printing, and dyeing.  Indigo is her favourite colour and she is fascinated by the various patterns and effects that can be produced.  Her hand stitching is all about mark making rather than precision or regularity.

The AGM will be , followed by a Members' Meeting including the following:

Members Show and Tell - We'd encourage you all to bring along a piece of work for a general show and tell;  perhaps something you've made over the last year which you'd be happy to share. 

We will launch the2026 group 6 inch square project.  

You'll see items from previous workshops where the tutors will be here again this year - to give an idea of some of our 2026 workshops, which we hope will inspire you to come along!
