An independent stich group in Newcastle where embroidery and textile art is for all.
Newcastle Embroidery and Textile Art is now entering our third year, (previously
Newcastle upon Tyne Embroiderers’ Guild), and is an independent stitch group.
Our aims remain the same, our meeting day remains the same and our venue
remains the same, see the About page for those details.
The March meeting was very well attended. and the new project, Slow Stitch, was proving to be a success.
See below the results from the February prompts: Hexes and English Paper piercing . The diverse responses
to this title can be seen below. The prompt for March is Lines, Edges & Join, along with insertion and edging stitches. A new joining stitch to most of us is Andika, we look forward to seeing the results.
All the information needed to start off and continue each month is on the Activities page.
Contact Wendy at the email on the Contact page if stuck!
There were ideas left from the book project, some are incorporated into the new project,
the remaining ideas have been allocated one to each month in 2024.
For those wishing to continue with the book project in 2024, a list of the remaining topics is available
from Wendy, e mail a request if needed. February's topic was Connections, see below the amazing work that was on display at the meeting. March's topic is My Treasure.
The last five photos below show other work produced by ladies in the group
using various techniques and topics.
We were delighted that Cas Holmes was able to join us, via zoom (our first time!) and give us an interesting insite into her world of emboidery. Paint and stitch are combined with discarded cloth, paper and found materials to create unique layered surfaces. The rituals of drawing and making mark the passing of time. The history and familiarity of the worn cotton, linen and paper surfaces inform the narratives contained within her work.
The last topic f0r the book project in 2023 was Fish, see a photo below.
All the latest from ANSG can be found on the News and Updates page.
We are delighted to add a Facebook page and Instagram page for our group
and it can be found at Newcastle Embroidery and Textile Art.
Whether you are a beginner or an expert in embroidery and textile art,
you are welcome to attend our meetings.
If you wish to learn, we will do what we can to help you.
