Gathering Threads
West Bridgford
'Gathering Threads Textiles & Fibres In Notts' (formerly West Bridgford Embroiderers' Guild)
We have a Group website www.gatheringthreads.org.uk where you can find our Programme and Workshops.
We are a friendly, lively and active group formed in 1998. Collectively, we have a wide range of skills and experience from those who regularly exhibit their work to occasional stitchers who like to keep abreast of what is happening in the embroidery world. We meet 11 times a year with talks by textile artists, practitioners, tutors, with a Christmas Social, and a social meeting where we stitch. Visitors are very welcome. We have just celebrated 25 years of being together.
We are holding an exhibition at Beeston Library, Foster Avenue, Beeston, from January 24th to 14th February 2024.
The theme is Walls and Gardens, inspired by a visit to the Walled Gardens at Wollaton Hall.
Opening times are 9am to 6 pm, Mon to Fri and 9 am to 4 pm on Saturday.
If travelling by car please use Satnav postcode NG9 2NJ.
Piece of work by Jan Merryweather - lots more details have been added since.
Come to the exhibition to see the finished piece.
We are a very active group who encourage participation in our workshops and project days as well as Exhibitions for those who are interested.
You don't have to know how to stitch but an interest in the Textile Arts of all sorts is useful.
All our members receive our monthly Email Newsletters. Visitors and previous members on our mailing list are also kept in touch by email reminders.
We have a Group website www.gatheringthreads.org.uk where you can see what we are all about.
