Charming Noveltees

Scene From Above, by Hilary Paterson

Unlike the artist who uses brush and paint, the embroiderer uses needle and thread as their medium of expression. These masters in the art of embroidery are showing their work in a national exhibition consisting of 120 embroideries from 50 guilds.

For many of the embroiderers invited to take part, it is the first time they have put their work out into a national forum. The exhibition is fascinating and inspirational with work ranging from traditional 3-D "stumpwork" to contemporary embroidery.

The brilliance of the exhibits immediately takes the viewer's eye, as does the wide variety of interpretations on the "Colourific" theme - from flowers in the garden to hot-air balloons, a weather map to a coat of many colours.

A variety of decorative stitching techniques and other materials are used in many of the exhibits.
