 Exhibitions

 

IN THE MILLENNIUM GALLERY

Six of the 16 artists from Threadmill pictured at a private viewing of the exhibition for family, friends and other guests.

 

LIFE Threads is inspired by the Threadmill artists’ personal journeys through life. Included in this exhibition is new work influenced by the history of Nantwich, particularly the manufacture of shoes here.

   The exhibition, which runs until December 12, showcases the textile art work of Threadmill, a group of 16 textile artists based mostly in Cheshire, who explore the diversity and richness of materials to create contemporary textile and mixed media art.

    Much of the work is for sale - providing an excellent opportunity to shop for unique Christmas gifts. 

   Pictures: Above left, Somewhere over the Rainbow, Bluebirds Fly and The Dreams that You Dare to Dream. Both are by Jenny Waterson.   Right: Gorgeous Grandpa - "I'm only here for the beer", a needle-felted character by Carol Stow.

Creative Visions

 

MEMBERS of the Orme Art group have a display of their work in the Community Gallery until November 14. The work is for sale.

   The group, which holds exhibitions twice a year, was formed by people from Cheshire and Staffordshire. They meet once a month for "creative practice", according to their website: www.ormeart.org.uk.
