SHAPE IT MODERN<\/h3>\n

An exhibition by Bristol Modern Quilting Group<\/strong><\/p>\n

What makes a modern quilt? This is the theme that the group explored, each member taking inspiration from artists such as Hundwasser, Hepworth, Klee, Suetin and Malevich, amongst others. Some used part of a picture, others used the shape, form or colour palate of the artist.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The resulting quilts are bold, vibrant and show the use of asymmetry, improvisational and minimalist styles, with a clever use of negative spaces.<\/p>\n

PATHWAYS<\/h3>\n

An exhibition by Contemporary Textiles Group<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every two years a challenge is set which is a juried event for members of the Contemporary Textiles group (part of the British Quilters Guild).<\/p>\n

Members work without limits or the usual conventions, thriving on exploration and experimentation to create innovative, dynamic and memorable art.<\/p>\n

The resulting exhibition is an amazing example of contemporary textiles, worked at the highest level.<\/p>\n

STORIES OF THE BOWERBIRD<\/h3>\n

An exhibition by Stephanie Redfern<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stephanie is a celebrated textile artist who works in textiles and mixed media. Her work is influenced by natural history, museum collections, folk art and its customs and landscapes.<\/p>\n

Stephanie chose the Bowerbird as her creative influence as it neatly describes her artistic method of working, collecting ideas and materials from a wide range of sources to produce beautiful textile art.<\/p>\n

Bowerbirds are extraordinarily creative engineers – to attract females, the males build and decorate elaborate structures (bowers) with brightly coloured objects.<\/p>\n

FREEFORM<\/h3>\n

An exhibition by the Westhope Lace Group<\/strong><\/p>\n

The group members bring Freeform<\/em> to life with an inspiring breadth of imagination. Each artist has taken the theme in a distinct direction, showcasing a deep understanding of traditional lacemaking. Their work celebrates the tactile beauty of thread, structure and pattern – often in ways that stretch far beyond what many would immediately recognise as lace.<\/p>\n

The exhibition unfolds as a richly textured journey, full of unexpected techniques, sculptural forms and expressive surfaces. It invites viewers to rethink what lace can be, offering a vibrant, modern re\u2011interpretation of traditional lacemaking.<\/p>\n
