Catherine Hill - textile artist

 Catherine entertained us with slides of her work, many of which have won prizes, and explained her way of working. She predominately uses red for her lettering because of the red rose of Lancashire, the county she is from. 

She also brought along many of her pieces of work which were much admired with a sense of wonder that anything so small could be so neat.

Textile Meadow Landscapes workshop with Emily Notman

 On Saturday 12th April we have a workshop with Emily Notman. As usual the workshop will be held at the United Reformed Church hall on Brookhouse Road Alsager from 10am to 4pm. Tea and coffee provided but please bring a packed lunch and an apron. You will be using paint.

Emily Notman is a textile artist who runs workshops for all levels of experience and expertise.

Here is a photo of my attempt at her last workshop. Her work is much better, unfortunately I can’t get any photos from her website to download here.  Look at Emily Notman.com. and on the Alsager Creative Stitchers page on Facebook.

She is very generous with her materials and advice so everyone will leave with a beautiful piece of work.
