Textile Art Demonstration this Thursday July 17 from 11-3

by Old Chapel Gallery | Pembridge
Date of event: 17 Jul 25
Artist: Barbara Shaw

Barbara creates art in textiles and ‘paint’ with fabric, making images by hand-stitching small pieces of material together in layers. She hopes to interpret subjects in a fresh way which encourages viewers to take a second look.

She is a self-taught artist, having started experimenting with fabrics after sewing patchwork quilts. Her work includes elements of both art and craft, reflecting her interest in Impressionist paintings and the process of handcrafting. The subjects she stitches include buildings, creatures, plants, still lives and landscape.

Barbara will be showing us how she creates one of her delightful textile artworks from beginning to end. Do come along and watch her at work.
