Two exhibitions on in Scarborough until the 28th November, Picturesque Framers and Gallery on St. John's Road, Falsgrave have Ayton Artists and Friends, Monday to Saturday from 9.30am to 4pm with tea and cake available on Saturday along with crafts for sale. This is a mixed media exhibition with artists and textile artists together. The other exhibition is at Woodend, next door to the art gallery, where Helen Birmingham has her 1568 Hearts exhibition. This is a commemoration of the end of WW1 and each of the 1568 hearts represents a day of the war. All done in individual styles, mostly stitch but inspired by the hearts that the soldiers made while recuperating in hospitals. Both are worth a visit if you are in the area.
A busy day again on Thursday, this time we were printing. We had stamps, stencils, gelliplates, paint and markel sticks on the go and most were working up to 2 o'clock getting lots of printed fabric to stitch on. Here are some of the work that was done. Not sure who's is who's.
This stamp is a string print taken from an ordnance survey map.
These are the leaves that Lesley had left after using them for printing. She is hoping to varnish them and use them in something else.
