Had lovely day yesterday with some of the ladies from Newcastle upon Tyne Embroiderers Guild, who attended my workshop. We did some basic fabric manipulation & stitching to create a piece for a box lid. Thank you to everyone who attended - hope you enjoy your day as much as I did.

Hi Everyone I have been busy getting things ready for “The Cookie Jar Designers Market” next Saturday (9th March). It is the launch day for this new Arts & Crafts event at the Holy Biscuit, in Newcastle (opposite the Biscuit Factory Art Gallery). There should be lots of lovely things to see & buy. And coffee & cakes available! I will have lots of new pieces for sale – as its Mothers Day next Sunday so you might just see a nice gift or just want to come along for a look. Either way, if you are able to come along, please come & say hello. -Deb. Hello everyone, I've been busy working on lots of different projects, so I should have some new work to show you soon.
I've just found out that my Golden Strata triptych from the Mining a Golden Seam exhibition has sold - I am over the moon. (Just in case the Buyer looks at my Website – I would like to say a big Thank You) As you probably know I am a member of Newcastle upon Tyne Embroiders Guild, if you would like to keep up to date with what is happening with them they have a new Twitter account @EmbGuild Happy Stitching Just a little reminder to anyone in the Tyne & Wear area The Shipley Embroidery Group is on this Saturday 2pm - 4pm (every month, on the first Saturday of the month at The Shipley Art Gallery in Gateshead). Everyone is welcome just a couple of hours stitching in the company of fellow embroiderers. You don’t have to be very skilled –just keen, everyone is very helpful!
http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/shipley-art-gallery/visiting-us.html Had a great day yesterday at a workshop with Theresa Easton, "Introduction to print & bookbinding", held at her Lime Street Studio. We spent the morning printing (oh, I would really love a printing press!), & in the afternoon Theresa taught us various methods of book binding & how to fold & cut some of our prints into little art books. (Some of the books I made, pictured) Theresas work is very inspirational - you can see more about her & her work at http://theresaeaston.wordpress.com/ Happy stitching, printing, folding & cutting!, -Deb. Mining a Golden Seam is an exhibition by members of the North East Region of the Embroiders Guild recently showing at Alexander Palace London & Harrogate International Centre. The display of wonderfully varied embroidery & textile work can now be seen at Crown Street Art Gallery, Darlington Library, from Saturday 19th January---Thursday 21st February 2013. My entry "Golden Strata" is shown, left. http://www.darlington.gov.uk/Leisure/arts/visualarts/CrownStreetArtGallery/CurrentExhibition.htm I must stop pinning & start stitching! pinterest.com/debcooperstitch
Happy New Year. Welcome to my new website, I hope it will grow into a more beautiful thing as the year goes on. Here's hoping that we have a creative 2013, happy stitching everyone. |
