Happy New Year

Detail from “The Storm” by Tres Barnett. Inspired by the Benjamin Britten Opera “Peter Grimes.”

All of us at Beyond Stitch (Ed, Sue, Sarah, Mandy, Marion, Trudie and Tres) would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy New Year.

So,  2018 has arrived which means that it is nearly 18 months since our last group exhibition and a mere 18 weeks until our next one.  Eeek! So much still to do , so little time. However, we have not been idle in the past 18 months but have been busy producing a brand new body of work to share with you.

With the theme for the next exhibition being The Arts we have set ourselves the challenge of producing, among other work, some pieces inspired by our favourite poems, music and artists.

Being a secretive bunch we do like to keep our new work under wraps until our exhibition opens but just to whet your appetite and to give you a little taste of what to expect we will share some details from a few of the finished pieces.

Detail from “Covehithe” by Mandy Bouttell. Inspired by the paintings of John Piper.

Detail from a wall hanging by Trudie Kram which took its inspiration from a Native American poem.

We do hope you may be able to come along to the see the whole of these and all our other pieces. We look forward to seeing you there.

“Deepening the Mystery” is at the Apex Gallery, Bury St. Edmunds from Tuesday 8th May until 3rd June 2018.
