Rob and I paid a visit to the textiles triennial exhibition at Gracefield Arts, Dumfries, today.
It was bustling with visitors and the exhibits looked great: very well balanced and a lively, interesting collection of textiles to admire. We had fun spotting pieces by people that we knew and I saw my own contributions (labelled in the photos below, with other contributors' work appearing in some of the photos).
The Spinners and Weavers' section had some gorgeous fabrics, yarns and threads available to buy, and there were also raffle tickets on sale in two of the areas.
The thread that links my pieces is that they all contain recycled/upcycled textiles, such as old clothing, curtain linings, bed sheets, etc.
